This year, AMS is all into the trappings of steam punk. With visions of “The Time Machine” by Jules Verne or “Leviathan” by Scott Westerfield, she aimed at creating a post-apocalyptic Victorian steam punk look with found odds and ends. No costume from the era would be complete without a vacuum cleaner hose, goggles, brass compass, monocular, skeleton keys and a leather bomber jacket. Are you a clanker?…or a Darwinist?

This 4-day, 3-night interdisciplinary program will allow students to increase their awareness and knowledge of our physical environment and to develop critical thinking skills and responsible actions to understand and properly care for it. The program covers the following areas: science, mathematics, history-social science, visual and performing arts, English language arts, health and physical education. The Santa Cruz coastal mountains provide a setting for diverse studies including creek research, soil digs, plant and animal identification, a night hike, habitat restoration and more. Escondido’s 5th grade classes have been attending Outdoor Science School since 2006 and have had wonderful experiences.

Where did the summer go? And what a good summer it has been! We got to do a lot of things: Raging Waters, PAPPA Art Camp, camping at Lake Tahoe, Master Impressionist Paintings, Mid-summer Mozart Festival, University Club and finally Skylark Ranch. Plus, she got promoted at SFBS to Level III.
First day of school. Meeting old friends, making new ones.
Now it’s time for shopping for new clothes, getting a new backpack and shoes for school. Back to the routine – “looks like it’s gonna be another wild year”. Fifth grade here she comes.
The Seafaris residence camp runs from July 30 through August 4 at the Skylark Ranch near Santa Cruz. It is organized by the Girl Scouts of America. No iPods, no phones, no Lady Gaga, no Nintendo, no distractions…. incommunicado for a week of fun, camaraderie and growth.
This is our fourth year of attending the Midsummer Mozart Festival at Gundlach-Bundschu Winery, Napa. Program II featured Seymour Lipkin – wow!
We saw the Oakland Athletics play against Chicago White Sox at the Oakland Coliseum. We got seats in the Club Luxury Suite 22 – with dad’s company, awesome! The game started at 1:10 PM. Never been to a real baseball game before. The A’s triumphed over the White Sox, 10 – 2. Had to dash away to get to Gun-Bun on time.
“Take me out to the ballgame,
Take me out to the park.
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks,
I don’t care if we never come back…”
They voted “The Magpie”, by Monet, as their favorite and wondered what all the fuss was about with “Whistler’s Mother”, but they kept returning again and again to their favorites and eventually emerged from the exhibit with a deeper appreciation for the ” Impressionists”.
The last time “Whistler’s Mother” was in San Francisco was in 1933. There’s a good chance they’ll never see it again, unless they visit in Paris at the Musée d’Orsay…
