Learning Beyond the Classroom

Next Thursday, we will be heading to the San Diego Air and Space Museum to check out The da Vinci Experience, an exhibit of Leonardo da Vinci's machines. The group that went today really enjoyed it so I am  looking forward to taking the children! It will help the children learn more about da Vinci and why we chose to name our school after him.

Next Friday, we'll be heading over to Mater Dei's theater to see CYT's performance of High School Musical 2. It's a great opportunity for the kids to experience a theater production that features children as the actors. Also, it's just a short walk to the theater so we'll be saving on the cost of a bus.

We've had a lot of events going on in the past month! It seems like everything came up at once. This will not always be the case. In the spring, we are planning to go to the San Diego Zoo. This will be a field trip where we will not be limited in the number of chaperons so if you are unable to join us for next week's events, hopefully you will be able to join us then. I'll let you know as soon as we have a date set up.
