Nice Concert

Posted on May 30, 2012 by chris618

I really enjoyed hearing everyone play at the concert at Sequoia last night. Your work this year really paid off, and you sounded good.

I also saw a few former students in the Kennedy band and orchestra. You have come a long way quickly, and are a great example of what the 6th graders have to look forward to.

Good job everyone!

Posted on April 30, 2012 by chris618

Friday Morning

From Maestra Lisa: So the kids on the hike: Bryan S, Brenda, Raquel, Jessica, Luz, Brice, Eliazar, Thomas A. They all did really awesome! Worked together as a team and conquered the mountain. Ricky was so happy with his accomplishment of cave crawling.

From Maestra Lisa: My trail group was near El Capitan and saw two black bears! Amazing!!!

Another group did the challenge hike and did awesome!! Haylie, Leo, & Alan were a few of the kids in the trail group. Gotta go:)

Wednesday Morning

Yesterday a group did the challenge hike and came back all smiles – Ariana C, Chrisbeth, Dylan A, Jacob, Connor, Dylan F, Ricky, & Fernando G were some of the students. Kimi & Gaby M.R. were the first to the top!

My group ate lunch on Pride Rock right under Washington Column – beautiful! We did rock scrambling which took a lot of strength We also did a cave crawl, with the emphasis on crawling!!! Didn’t think I was going to fit through some of the spaces! Another group walked across the Merced River in the slow shallow valley! They couldn’t believe how COLD it was’! :)

Last night was a very quiet night throughout the camp – everyone was tired! Everyone is behaving wonderfully. I will try to to email again this afternoon. It is beautiful weather! We are so lucky. Take care.

Tuesday

No news from Yosemite today, but they did have good weather in the low 70’s.

Monday

I received an email from Maestra Lisa a while ago that they made it in fine condition to Yosemite. It’s a beautiful day there. If she sends more information, I’ll add it here.

Update

Posted on April 19, 2012 by chris618

It was really good to see everyone again yesterday! I got to talk with a few of you, and it was good to hear that you are doing well and excited about going to Yosemite. First thing’s first though: get lots of sleep, eat a good breakfast every day, and rock on those state tests next week!

—————————————————————-

Hello students,

In a little more than a week you will be going to Yosemite! I hope you have all of your gear and are ready for a really fun and exciting time. To help prepare you, your substitutes have been showing you pictures and reading you stories about how to stay safe and showing you what you will be doing.

Since I am still going through treatment, and it will continue through the end of June, I won’t be back to teach you this year. However, I will be there on Friday for a few  minutes to show you a Yosemite safety presentation. I’m really looking forward to seeing you all again!

Maestro Chris
