Coloma “Gold Rush” Overnight Trip
The 4th Grade class had an overnight field trip to the Gold Country – to Coloma. This is near Sutter’s Mill, the site where gold was first discovered in California. They were on their field trip for 3 days and 2 nights.
The 4th graders “lived like” the people who came from all over the country and the world in the mid-1800’s, by the thousands, to seek their fortune from panning gold.
They wore close to authentic clothing and each were given a souvenir green bandanna. They also panned for gold and found a few flakes.
They learned about how gold was panned from the rivers and streams in the area. They also learned about the history of California during the Gold Rush days.
This is the most memorable field trip for the 4th graders.
Halloween 2009 – Ace of Spades
For Halloween, AMS wore an Ace of Spades costume that had been worn previously at Escondido by a former student some 15 years ago. The fingernails and lipstick fill-in the details add drama.

Voilà, viola!
I was selected to join the 5th graders in “Beginning Strings”. I want to play the viola, sooo… my dad and I went to a viola store and rented a viola! You should see all those house rats run off when they heard me play (NOT)!
Fourth Grade
Wow! Suddenly I’m in fourth grade.
So great to see my old friends again. And to meet a bunch of new ones! And my teacher, Ms. Holmes, is awesome.
I have to read 40 chapter books by the end of the year. I will go for an overnight (3 days and 2 nights) to Coloma for California History (Gold Rush). We’re also doing Everyday Math and making Native American Posters.
Last Day Fair 2009, Good-bye Third Grade!
June 11, 2009
Suddenly here it is… last day of school. Third grade was hard but fun. I learned about fractions and math and writing. I’m excited about getting my hair colored blue, green and yellow at the Last Day Fair.
With lots of tickets and fun things to do and awesome food to snack on and my friends and teachers! – it doesn’t get any better than this.

The Annual School Sock Hop, 1960’s Hippie Style – “Love and Peace Bro…”
The annual sock hop event was anticipated all year long. Finally it happened. And this year it was a benefit for the 5th graders (for their annual overnight field trip) with all the grades welcome. Also new this year is the 1960’s Hippie Theme. Having some old artifacts from that time on hand, AMS got all decked out in some authentic vintage clothing and accessories. Totally groovy…
