Info to Share:
Our AEA Gala was a lot of fun!
It was great to see many of you there enjoying a good time and hopefully getting to know more of our AEA community!
All our Kindergarten teachers auctioned off a once in a lifetime event that your child can take part in WHILE raising money for our School!!! Remember that all the money you spend is actually a donation to your child's education....and you get a night to remember for your child.
Maybe Grandma or Grandpa would like to contribute to the cause? A $250 donation to Friends of AEA (your PTA)
will get you one spot ...
On June 7, 2019,
parents have the opportunity for an afternoon into the evening, OFF. Take some time for yourself or get a group together to have a night out on the town while we will entertain the little ones at school. Yes, that means you do not have to pick up your child after school. We will keep all the kiddos for a night of fun!
....we will start off with 6 rotations of pure fun including all the things you want to do at school but are not allowed, to "make and takes!"
Bring in your donation of bottled water to donate to Rachel's homeless shelter by Friday!
All the water we collect will go to the homeless in San Diego!
Donate an 8oz bottle, 16oz, 6 pack,
12 pack, 24 pack!!!
All donations are appreciated!
We will figure out with our classes how we will best be able to get the water from our classroom to the truck that will drive it downtown after our walk.....parked a few blocks from our school.
We will have to transport our water just as they do in Africa, where we hope to put in a new pump this summer with the money we raise from our Walk for Water 2019.
Thank you for being a part of our group effort to make a difference, globally and locally!

All 6 teachers are part of this extravaganza....

Special guests will be Ms Nancy and Frau Hana!!

Then we will take a dinner break to eat a pizza
together before we run around and explore what the school is like when no one
is there! This exploration time will be followed by MOVIE NIGHT- WHAT?! wait
what? And a trip to the purple playground to play when the movie is
then OLD news?...
PJ's and a toothbrush are all the kids need but can also bring a stuffed animal if they'd like to!
We will have them ready for bed by the time you get back for pick up at 7.30!

AEA’s K-8 Walk for Water, Friday March 22
This
year’s AEA Walk for Water, in recognition of World Water Day, will return to
being a K-8 school-wide community service event! K-5 students will join middle
school students in raising awareness of the lack of clean water for over seven
hundred million people across the globe. Our goal is to raise $4,000 for “Water
for Children Africa” a San Diego based 501c3, dedicated to providing clean
water to villages in rural parts of Africa. In addition to helping
globally, for students who wish to carry an extra water bottle on the walk, we
will be collecting them and donating them to Rachel’s Homeless Shelter
downtown. You can support by buying a t-shirt designed by Shana Cutler or an
AEA water bottle, each $10. Sales will be after school on 3/14 and before
and after school on 3/15, 3/20, and 3/21, just inside the front gate. Or you
can donate here: http://bit.ly/AEAWalkforWater
Volunteers will be needed on the day of the walk. Please reach out
to your child’s teacher regarding the specifics._______________________________

STUDENT
ACTION!
We
are interested in hearing about the connections your child is making to his/her
learning.... A
unit 4 reflection sheet went home the week before last. Please fill it out and
send it back this week as your child reflects on our Weather unit.
_______________________________
CHALLENGE CALENDARS
are optional, we find skills
such as goal setting and delaying gratification extremely helpful and since we
cannot spend more time on this in school. The challenges were created as an
optional supplemental activity that most students enjoy.
In March we are working on delaying gratification. Academic success is proven in children who can delay gratification! Delayed gratification is the ability to resist the temptation for an immediate reward and wait for a later reward.
Examples: working to earn (save for) something that your child really wants; getting a new toy. Or if they get something another example would be waiting until they get home to open it; saving money to buy something more meaningful; making your child aware that they are waiting for a special event later in the day, etc
