E-Waste Recycle Day is SATURDAY

Posted on January 26, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

If you are looking for a way to get rid of some old electronics, we have your solution. Just bring those items to the Carroll parking lot on Saturday, January 31st between 9 AM and 1PM. You get your garage cleaned out a bit and our school earns some money for new computer equipment. It’s a win-win!

Dinner Night Out

Posted on January 21, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

Our PTA is sponsoring a Dinner Night Out (DNO) at Rubio’s on Thursday, January 22nd. It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider stopping by for a meal or a snack. Twenty percent of all sales will be donated to our school. Be sure to tell the cashier to include your total in the count for Carroll.

Antarctica, Here We Come!

Posted on January 20, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

I have registered our class for a very special event on Wednesday, January 21st. We will be participating in a video conference from 10 – 11 AM with scientists in ANTARCTICA! Time For Kids has arranged for many, many classrooms to get connected via the internet to hear directly from those men and women who are way down under studying penguins. I have some penguin-related activities planned for the week, so I think we are in for a treat all week long.

Learning to Code

Posted on January 20, 2015 by Mrs. Petuya

On Saturday I attended a workshop on how to teach computer science to elementary students. I have to say it was probably the best training I have EVER had. Really. Mike Gargiulo, computer teacher at Elliott Ranch Elementary, took us through a day full of hands-on learning with code.org. I am very excited to get this curriculum started with my students in class. The best part is students can work on these puzzles on ANY device and it’s FREE. Just bookmark the link that I will email you and have your child click on their name and their secret picture to get started. If you are not sure why this is a good idea, just poke around the code.org website a little while and you will soon have plenty information to support this endeavor. I’ll share more as soon as we get started in class. 😀

Storybook Character Day

Posted on November 14, 2014 by Mrs. Petuya

Friday November 21st is your chance to dress up like a storybook character and wear the costume to school. Be sure to bring the book with you so we can enjoy the whole storybook experience. We will also compare what makes a character real or make-believe. I do believe a parade route is being planned as well. It will be a special way to spend our last day on track together.
