Principals Message:
Dear Canyon View Families,! anniversary celebration such a Thank you all for making our success! The MPR was stuffed with students, staff, parents and CV alumni, and the smiles and laughter that lled the air conrmed that everyone had a good time! To continue the anniversary celebration, we are kicking off the 25 For 25 Years campaign. For the next 25 days, we will be collecting coins to help support a school-wide tiling project. Throughout the year, Ms. Romero will be working with each class at CV in creating decorative tiles to commemorate our 25th anniversary. Eventually, the tiles will be placed around campus for generations of CV students to enjoy. Coin containers will be placed in each classroom, and we will also have a container in the ofce for any spare change that may nd its way through the front doors. Thank you for supporting our efforts. 25th Conference week is quickly approaching. We will be on a half-day schedule from Monday, October 8th through Wednesday, October PARENT REMINDER

Finally, one of our school goals this year is to improve in the area of mathematics. Since CFSDs implementation of the Common Core State Standards last year, students are being taught mathematics a lot differently than how most of us were taught. No longer are students jumping straight to an algorithm without any understanding of what the numbers truly mean. Rather, students are being taught how to create concrete models of problems using manipulatives, draw graphic representations, use multiple strategies to solve the same problem, and probably one of most difcult skills, be able to explain their thinking and logic (metacognition). The goal is to deepen students understanding of numbers and their relationships, and they will eventually be able to fully understand the pieces of an algorithm and apply it correctly to a given situation. Students are nding this new way of learning about numbers to be quite a challenge. However, since much of the new learning is embedded in realworld contexts, the students are able to connect to the content and apply it to their own personal experiences. One fun and easy way to get our children to think about math is to point out the scores of math !

Notication of Pest Control State Law (House Bill 2135, Chapter 102) requires the school district to notify parents, legal guardians, and employees 48 hours prior to pest/weed control treatments. In accordance with these requirements, Essential Pest, vendor for pesticide treatment, will visit our school once month to inspect building exteriors, kitchen areas, and restrooms, and to perform pest control treatments of those areas, as required. Our current pest control program does not include pesticide applications inside classrooms. Such applications are performed only if infestation occurs. Essential Pest will treat Canyon View on the third Tuesday of each month. Additional information may be obtained from the Environmental Health and Safety Ofce at the district ofce at 299-6446.

Check out the spookies we have planned for you! Friday, Cotober 26
Do you have old Halloween Costumes that you would like to donate to Canyon View students? If so, then join us for our second...
Friday, October 5 Canyon View Library 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. Why recycle your old Halloween costumes? How will the swap work?
Swapping half the costumes kids wear at Halloween would reduce annual landll waste by 6,250 tons, equal to the weight of 2500 midsize cars!
When the event starts, everyone enters with costumes they are exchanging. Costumes are immediately placed in areas by size and swappers can make one new selection.
Cant make it? Drop off your gently used costumes at the school ofce by Thursday, October 4. Your donation will help Canyon View students have a green and affordable Halloween. Can you volunteer at the swap? Contact Laura Baragar at [email protected]

What is Plant Science Family Night? Plant Science Family Night is hours of engaging, hands-on fun exploring plant sciences. As a family, your K-5 children will work with University of Arizona scientists and Tucson community experts in the fields of genomics, agriculture, chemistry, optics, and botanical sciences to explore DNA, cells, plants, nutrition, survival and adaptations of plants. There are numerous opportunities to observe, compare, analyze, and create you can design a microbe, build DNA candy, and you will even extract DNA from a plant. The evening is open to all CFSD families and friends. Except for your dinner (Create Caf and Jamba Juice) the whole evening is FREE to participants. JOIN THE SCIENCE FUN!
Our
Theme
this
year
is

Centers!
Play with wiggly worms, learn the life cycle, explore vermiculture & plant composting Explore your nutritional choices with food labels and plant parts. Plants need water, plants are impacted by our weather.. take a lesson in the Jimmy Stewart Weather Bus HOT PEPPERS. You bet you can learn from the best Arizona Dirt Farmer Learn about Pollen: Nothng to Sneeze at or design an ocean Phytoplankton.
Extract DNA from fruit, build candy model DNA, and explore basic DNA
Make healthy snacks, read food labels, and discover the value of seeds/beans/cereals You
are
invited
Magnify those giant spines, twisted roots and awesome blooms of our desert cactus to
join
the
fun
Take action.. learn about Water Conservation in our desert or start your own Community Garden with
your
family!
Observe the cells of plants to better understand the living organism Look carefully at the live bees, our important plant pollinators Design a microbe or phytoplankton, make an Earth Bracelet or build a cactus.. it is all fun while learning about plants! Herbivores are everywhere.. animals need plants and plants need animals.. systems are interaction. Take home to grow a live cactus, win a tour of the UA BIO5 labs, or other free gifts Discover how could DNA research about rice or maize can Feed the World Our thanks in advance to the over 50 University of Arizona researchers, scientists, Tucson community experts, CFHS Honor students for their E3 (energy, expertise, efforts) and time to make PLANT SCIENCES come ALIVE and oh oh oh so much FUN!
