Teacher For The Day
Miss Nielsen (aka Anika) did a wonderful job as Mrs. Lottes' replacement on Wednesday, May 18th as she assumed her title "Teacher for the Day." Miss Nielsen was on time and was professionally dressed as she got her papers ready for the beginning of class.
She not only taught a lesson to a group of students on long division, but she also graded papers, and read to the class from our on-going novel (something only the teacher does). Anika took this title very seriously; even rewarding and disciplining the class for their behavior. Mrs. Lottes was very impressed and knows that what every job Anika does in the future she will excel.
Kindergarten to the Ocean Institute
On Monday, May 16th, the Kindergarten classes went on a field trip to the Ocean Institute at Dana Point Harbor. The children were able to touch sea cucumbers, sea stars, hermit crabs, etc.... The children had a wonderful time and had a "hands on" adventure. After the Ocean Institute lab and classes, the children ate lunch at the Tustin Sports Park.
Thank you to all the parent helpers.

3rd Grade Adventure to San Diego
3rd Grade Adventure to San Diego
Edgewood’s third grade was beaming with excitement as they learned at the beginning of the year that they would be going on an all-day field trip to San Diego. Weeks prior to the field trip students began to bubble over with anticipation. Finally, at 6:30 in the morning on Tuesday, May 11th, forty-three third grade students and their parents gathered together at the Santa Ana Amtrak station wondering what the day would hold. For some, this was the first adventure on a train. For others, this was the first time in San Diego. As the train pulled away from the station we settled into our seats and took in the beautiful scenery. After a two hour train ride, we arrived at the Downtown San Diego station. Leah our wonderful guide directed us down to the boardwalk and we started our guided tour of a Russian submarine, a replica 1800’s British sailing ship, and the Star of India (one of the oldest working sailing ship in the world). Once finished, both classes raced down the boardwalk to their next voyage. However, half of our group got left behind because our docents at the Star of India were so thorough. So, the ones left behind causally ate lunch on the dock and waited for the remaining students. The ones that got to board the California Princess began their tour of the south bay and leisurely ate lunch on the boat. Following our bay tour a chartered bus met us on the street and Louis, our driver, navigated us through the busy thoroughfare of downtown to gorgeous Balboa Park. From there we walked to the Reuben H. Fleet Science center which was a tantalizing collection of interactive exhibits and rides designed to provoke the imagination and teach scientific principles. The highlight of the Science center was the IMAX movie called Hubble, where students walked away with a better appreciation for space and what it takes to be an astronaut. After getting an hour to explore the Science center it was time to make our way to Old Town San Diego. After a tour of an old Spanish villa and some of the quaint shops we made our way back to the station. A little sad that the day was over, students however began to retell all the fun activities they had throughout the day. As we boarded the train to make our way back to the OC, you could hear the students whisper to each other, “This was the best field trip, ever!”
Talon The Traveler
In 1994, Dale Hubert, a 3rd Grade teacher in Canada, began the Flat Stanley Project. He invited other teachers to take part by hosting flat visitors and to encourage their students to write their own Flat Stanley journals. (Flat Stanley Project)
The Edgewood flat "Traveling Talon" Mascot is being sent home so he can hang out with you during your summer vacation. Talon can hike a mountain, go on a cruise ship, meet Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, spend the night at grandma's house, water ski at the lake, surf at the beach, watch movies, go to birthday parties, and more. Take a picture of him everywhere you go!
During the first month of school, we will gather your pictures and have a Traveling Talon assembly.
You can share your "Traveling Talon" adventures and pictures in two ways:
1. You can post them on the Edgewood Facebook page.
2. You can send one or two of your favorite Traveling Talon pictures to Mrs. Powell's email address, jpowell@fairmontschools.com.
