Hello C3 families,
It was great to be back yesterday, although most of you were back last week. Continue to be prayerful for Josh Bethea so that he can heal quickly and return to co-op and life as usual, healthier than ever. Happy Birthday again to King Charles Simpson. We hope your week is very blessed.
We talked about attending a field trip together possibly on Friday the 25th to Old Town San Diego for the segment of the California gold rush that the middle school students are currently doing. Please remember to bring your funds this coming Tuesday to give to Shawn for the field trip. The details of the field trip are as follows:
Old Town Field Trip Information
What: Field Trip to Old Town!
When: Approx. 9 a.m.- 3 p.m. January 25, 2013*
Where: Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, Casa del Rey Moro Museum
Cost:$6 per person for the Footsteps Through Time tour
$1/student and $2/adult for Casa del Rey Moro Museum
It will be loads of fun to be somewhere together besides co-op on Tuesday. Also, when the high school students are on Unit 20 which should be in 4 weeks, we talked about taking a field trip to see "Les Miserables" instead of reading "The Scarlett Pimpernell" and writing a paper on the movie. I'm considering requiring or giving a treat to those who read the book "Les Miserables" before we see the movie. Maybe I will take those who read it to "In & Out" or out for pizza. I only have 5 students in my class and I suspect that only 3 or 4 will opt to read the book. Anyone who would like to join us for the movie is welcome to do so. We will hopefully be able to see it at Ultra Star theater in Chula Vista. They play movies that are no longer in the theaters but recently was for a very discounted price of $4 - 7.
