Eighth Grade Visits Orange County Courthouse
The 8th graders visited the North Justice Center in Fullerton and witnessed first-hand the administration of justice. They observed actual court proceedings, visited the jury assembly room, glimpsed the inmates' intake and holding areas, met representatives of the District Attorney's office and the Sherriff's Department. Our eighth graders then participated in a scripted mock trial with the objective of teaching the students the role of various participants in a courtroom setting (judge, attorney, witness, baliff, clerk, etc). They then met with a judicial officer to talk to the students about the legal consequences of one's actions.

Third Grade Musical Showcase
Our Third Graders can also recognize famous masterworks by great composers. They also improvised dance movements that reflected a specific pattern by Beethoven. For the last two weeks they have been choreographing a complicated dance to music by Saint-Saens' work, "Danse Macabre".
On March 31, the Third Graders showed that they are becoming literate musicians. They did the following things in 6/8 meter: play instruments to the beat, use the Gordon Rhythmic System to read and speak rhythms, dictate rhythms, and learned to listen critically to discern one rhythm from many other rhythms.

Devastation in the Land of the Rising Sun
With countless deaths and over ten thousand missing, fear and devastation are streaming through Japan. On March 11, Sendai was hit with a 9.1 earthquake followed by over 300 aftershocks that could be felt by the citizens of Tokyo, nearly 200 miles away.
Minutes after the earthquake, a 30 foot wall of water slammed into the coast causing more damage as it pushed houses from their foundations and swept cars and boats away as if they were toys.
After the flood waters began to recede, the true devastation became clear. A nuclear power plant on the North Coast of Honshu was damaged and is currently overheating. In a last-ditch attempt to cool the radioactive core, sea water was hauled in and poured into the reactor. Teams of employees, including the famous Fukushima 50, the first wave of workers to reenter the plant, has been working tirelessly to restore power and reengage the central cooling system.
The emperor of Japan has released a message to his people saying to not give up hope and to stay strong. As they battle diminishing resources, the people of Japan are forced to salvage what they can. Food and water are scarce, and trucks carrying stock and supplies are often deterred by damaged roads. Amazingly, the people of Japan have maintained their compassion; coupled with every report of devastation is a story of humanitarian understanding and respect.

Piggy Banks for Japan
Two of Mable's fifth grade girls had an idea to help the people of Japan. What if they put piggy banks in each classroom? Would people contribute enough money to fill them? After talking with their mothers, Alyssa Goh and Nathalie Song put together a plan and presented it to Mrs. Calabria.
On Thursday, March 24, banks and fliers were distributed to every classroom on Mable Campus. Posters, made by the girls, went up in the well-traveled areas, like the library. Their goal? To end up with $1 per student. Judging from the enthusiastic response from students and teachers alike, they will have much more to present to the American Red Cross to benefit Japanese relief efforts. Banks will be collected on Thursday March 31. This is citizenship in action, and we are proud to say these girls are a part of our Fairmont Community.

Breakfast With Kaylin
Miss Kaylin Ong is chock-full of good character! She and Mrs. Kaneski enjoyed breakfast together on Friday, March 25, 2011. For Kaylin, a sugar donut and orange juice, and for Mrs. Kaneski (and a fine excuse to break her diet plan) enjoyed ½ a glazed donut and coffee. YUM!! Kaylin shared that she loves playing soccer, is working toward straight A+'s, can't think of anything she would change about 2nd grade, and that her BFF is Ashley. Thank you Kaylin for starting my Friday off so nicely!

We thank you for your support.

SNACK TIME eat right with color
March is National Nutrition Month! This year's theme, "Eat Right with Color," provides an easy way to focus on improving eating habits — simply include plenty of color on your plate!
National Nutrition Month is an annual campaign sponsored by the American Dietetic Association (www.eatright.org) to promote nutrition awareness and education. This month the American Dietetic Association wants you to make healthy choices by incorporating a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables into your meals every day.
A rainbow of foods contributes a variety of nutrients, each with different potential benefits. A varied diet supplies different nutrients, so maximize the nutritional value of your meal, by including healthful choices in a variety of colors."
Green. These foods contain special compounds called indoles, that help the liver and intestinal tract get rid of harmful compounds and may help reduce cancer risks.
Examples include broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, bok choy, spinach and kale.
Orange and deep yellow fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, and alpha and beta-carotenes which protect cell membranes, improve night vision, and may reduce the risk of cancer. Examples include oranges, tangerines, papayas, apricot, cantaloupe, grapefruit, mango, papaya, pineapple, carrots, yellow pepper, yellow corn, squash and sweet potatoes.
Purple and blue fruits and vegetables contain anthocyanins that may have antioxidant and anti-aging benefits and may help with memory, urinary tract health and reduced cancer risks.
Examples include blackberries, blueberries, plums, raisins, eggplant, and purple cabbage.
Red produce contain compounds that are rich in lycopene, which reduces cancer risk by ridding the body of free radicals that can damage genes. They may help to maintain a healthy heart, vision, immunity and may reduce cancer risks.
Examples include cherries, cranberries, pomegranate, red/pink grape fruit, red grapes, watermelon, beets, red onions, red peppers, red potatoes, rhubarb and tomatoes.
White, tan and brown foods contain flavonoids that protect cell membranes which may then support heart health and reduce cancer risks.
Examples include banana, pears, dates, cauliflower, mushrooms, garlic, onions, parsnips, turnips, white-fleshed potato and white corn.
Earlier this month, Fairmont’s Mabel campus participated in open house and children and parents helped themselves to red delicious apples loaded with phyto nutrients!
For more tips visit the National Nutrition Month section. Plenty of resources are available, including recipes, interactive games, nutrition education resources and the NNM blog.
