Last night I was treated to an amazing dinner by a former student. He’s become an amazing young man (just like I knew he would)! #cjusd @RuthGrimesRAMS

@CALFIRERRU Are the helicopters that I hear over my house in Loring Ranch related to #46fire flare up?

We ended our busy Halloween day with Spookley. Ss were excited to each get their own copy of the book and a little Halloween activity book. They were so grateful ❤️ 🎃 @RuthGrimesRAMS #cjusd

We learned a little about our skeletons and how the bones in our fingers and hands move. We even made our own X-rays (thi is an oldie but goodie lesson). Students loved it! 🦴 @RuthGrimesRAMS #cjusd

Celebrating Halloween with a little pumpkin chunkin! Ss made catapults to launch candy pumpkins. Fun! 🎃

@CALFIRERRU Is this a mandatory evacuation for all homes in the red area? Do I need to evacuate my animals? (From Loring Ranch)

@EdCoachSarah This was so awesome! Such a moving day!

Today, Ss worked together to create a bridge that would hold a “pot of gold.” They used Play-doh, pipe cleaners, a cup, and 20 pennies. Great job! @RuthGrimesRAMS #stemchallenge

2nd graders learning about chemical changes. They predicted what would happen if I mixed vinegar with baking soda. They thought it was cool to see the ballon blow itself up. @RuthGrimesRAMS #CJUSD

[Brenda Cortez @_Mrs_Cortez]

My class made a “Grateful Tree”
Ss discussed what it means to be grateful. Then we decided what we are most grateful for and wrote it down on a leaf. The tree will remain up all year to remind us that we have so much to be grateful for. @RuthGrimesRAMS #cjusd
