California's Native American Day

Thank you to Native Students in Mrs. Dabelstein's 1st grade class for sharing their art and more about their culture with their classmates this week. 

Mrs. Alves' 4th grade class also watched a talk from California State Assemblyman James Ramos who provided us a lesson on Native music. They then had Jackie Tahuka Nunez bring a virtual program to our classroom. She is a storyteller who told us a story about a little girl who was different. Through stories children learn how to be in the world. Her story explained how it's not okay to make fun of people and that it's okay for people to be different. After that, one of my students told us some fascinating things about being Native American. The students loved learning new information from her.

Hispanic Heritage Month

Our 4th Grade classes kicked off our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration by learning about "paleteros". Students read the Paletero Man story and then had an opportunity to sample different flavors of paleteros together thanks to a parent donation of authentic paleteros!

Sea Otters Up Close

On Thursday morning, Campo Elementary students joined in on a Zoom video event from San Diego Sea World animal trainers and their very special guest stars, sea otters! Students watched as Sea World animal trainers feed and cared for the sea otters in real time!

Character Counts Assembly

This month we focused on "Respect" as part of our Character Counts program. Congratulations to the students selected by their teachers for showing tremendous "Respect" this month! 

Generous Donations!

Thank you to the Optimist Club of San Diego Back Country. Our Staff and Students greatly appreciate your generous donation of food, and school supplies. We thank you so much for thinking of Campo Elementary and can't wait to partner on more projects!
