Assembly Seating Chart
Here is the seating chart for assemblies. If you see any issues let me know. We will try to do most assemblies outside when possible. Because sometimes we are inside and somtimes outside it can get confusing where to sit. On the top of the chart it says left or right side of the aisle facing the stage and that is probabaly the easiest way to think about it.

More PD opportunities
Sacramento Math Project: Saturday Seminar include information on how to create and implement student tasks that provide students opportunities to make sense, persevere, reason abstractly, construct viable arguments, analyze the reasoning of others, develop mathematical models to explore or understand situations and phenomenon, select tools appropriate for the task at hand, use and communicate appropriate levels of precision, recognize and apply structure, and recognize and apply repeated reasoning. You probably recognized all of those actions as the Standards of Mathematical Practice.
Rocklin Maker Faire
Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the Rocklin Mini Maker Faire is a family-friendly celebration featuring rockets and robots, digital fabrication, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, bicycles, unique hand-made crafts, music and local food, and educational workshops and installations. This year, classes are invited to build a robot to be displayed at the Faire! Show your school pride, artistic flair, or engineering talents, and let your students shine as a part of the event. The robots will be displayed near the FREE Robot Toss, where students can put mass and trajectory formulas to the test watching their mini robot fly for distance!
