RV Robotics, Science, & STEAM ELD Week 9/22 - 26/2025

Hello Everyone!

Happy Day of Peace!!!

This is a day when we think about how to bring peace to our lives and our relationship with others.  

It is a choice.

Peace Day Message from the United Nations


The United Nations Sustainability Goals - A Plan Forward


This will be the last full week of September.  October is around the corner, Fall is here!


Attention Robotics Class and STEAM ELD Classes - We are going to the Aviation Career Day on October 17.  It is going to be a fun experience.  You can also participate in the Garbage Glider contest that has some great prizes.  The rules are available on this link and posted in the classroom.  To make a glider, we will need some usable garbage and an understanding of the principles of flight.  Click the image below to start understanding how things fly!  



When Mr. G is out and there is a Guest Teacher in the class:
  • Respect the tools
  • Respect each other (the people)
  • Do the assigned work for each class on each day
  • Work will be graded when Mr. G returns - No makeups or extensions, work must be completed in class.
  • If you are disruptive, you will face consequences which may include a call home, a referral, or more.

RV Robotics, Sience, & ELD STEAM Week 9/15 - 19/2025

 Hello Everyone!

Thanks for doing a good job with your guest teacher.  I'm looking forward to seeing your work and giving you credit as a positive consequence.

This week, we will be getting into our curriculum.  Thank you for working on class routines and knowing how to work together.

The California Coastal Cleanup is this weekend.  You can bring your family and meet your friends for a beautiful Southern California morning at the beach, making it beautiful!!!  Click on the image below for more information and the waiver.  You can also ask your teachers for the waiver.



Send your name into space with Artemis 2!



Here is what I was doing on Friday.  This is the tour group of Solar System Ambassadors at JPL.  Look down in the Space Out Friday Section for more photos.
