					<description><![CDATA[🦦 Campus Vibes & Ocean Breezes! 🌊
Our high schoolers took over CSUMB last Friday! From scouting out the best study spots to learning what it takes to become an Otter, it was an 11/10 day of inspiration. 🎓✨

The future is looking bright (and coastal)! ☀️

The CSUMB Recap:
📍 Walking the beautiful Monterey Bay campus
📚 Diving into college life & career goals
🤝 Making memories with the FPCS crew

					<description><![CDATA[⚡ From the Classroom to the Rollercoaster! 🎬

Our middle schoolers from the Orcutt and Solvang Learning Centers teamed up this week for their annual field trip to Universal Studios Hollywood! But this wasn’t just a day of popcorn and movies...

Our junior scientists and engineers took a deep dive into the STEAM App Series Program. 🧬⚙️ They spent the morning cracking the code on the special effects, animatronics, and complex engineering that bring the Revenge of the Mummy to life.

We love seeing our students find the "cool" in critical thinking! The curse might be ancient, but these innovators are definitely future-ready. 🏆]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Recently new legislation has been proposed which would severely impact the funding and operations of our school. The devastating restrictions in AB 1316 would limit the total enrollment of FPCS to less than 200 students, eliminate the option for FPCS to serve students outside of Santa Barbara county, reduce the per pupil funding to a percentage equal to the amount of time a student spends in the classroom, and remove FPCS’s ability to provide flexible blended learning models to meet the individual needs of students. The bill is currently in the Assembly Appropriations Committee and the State Assembly could vote on it as early as May 24th.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Today, the SMMLC 4th and 5th grade class took a trip to Boston, MA, visiting The Paul Revere House... virtually!


The Man Behind the Myth

What they experienced: During a short slide presentation, children found out what really happened on Revere’s midnight ride. Students  examined letters, advertisements and reproduction artifacts, looking for clues about the man behind the myth. Intriguing details emerged about Revere’s personality, contributions to the Revolution, large family, and many business ventures. An interactive tour of Revere’s house completed the program.

Attached is a link to a short slideshow of the virtual field trip!

					<description><![CDATA[At long last!  The 4th and 5th grade students at the SMMLC went on the coveted La Purisima Mission Field Trip--- a field trip that is enjoyed during the school year by classes from all over California!  Today, over 800 fellow students from schools all over the state shared the history of the California Mission System.  The SMMLC 4th and 5th graders are deep into California history this school year; today, students saw, in person, much of what we have talked about and learned in class, and continue to talk about and learn, as we make our way through California's rich and diverse history via our English-Language Arts and Social Studies units!]]></description>

In the 4th and 5th grade, cultural awareness and appreciation are emphasized, as well as cultural diversity being deeply embedded in our national and global history.  With that said, 4th and 5th graders researched and presented to the class facts about a chosen country, including how some countries celebrate the holiday season!  

Presentations were concluded with many students bringing dishes and desserts specific to their country researched.  

We all benefited from the diversity presented to is in both scholarship and cuisine!

					<description><![CDATA[The 2nd & 3rd graders at SMMLC had visitors today. Students from UCSB’s Ambassadors for the Environment program used “The Lorax” to teach us about the importance of trees and conservation. Students made a truffula tree and were given milkweed seeds to care for at home. The Ambassadors also left us a potted seed to take care of.  They were very impressed by the 2nd and 3rd graders prior knowledge!]]></description>

				<link>http://www.fpcharter.org/apps/news/article/1116495</link>
				<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.fpcharter.org/apps/news/article/1116495</guid>
					<description><![CDATA[Over the past two weeks, 4th and 5th graders at the FP SMMLC have been learning about Early California Native Americans.  You may remember that the 4th and 5th graders previously made shelters using natural resources available to them, much like the early California Native Americans.  During our learning, we learned that desert California Indians, like the Mojave, used clay pots.  

With that, the 4th and 5th grade students were given clay to mold into a pot.  First, we discussed the purpose of a pot--- to hold or carry something.  The objective of the pot they were to create included the ability to hold or carry something.  Students were quick, but meticulous, to form and shape their pots out of the clay.  

After forming their pots and letting them dry, students painted their pots, much like how the desert California Indians would paint their pots.  

It continues to impress all of us by the creativity and unique ingenuity each student brings to their learning!

					<description><![CDATA[Today, the 4th and 5th graders presented their "Around the World" Projects.  In the 4th and 5th grade, cultural awareness and appreciation are emphasized, as well as cultural diversity being deeply embedded in our national and global history.  With that said, 4th and 5th graders researched and presented to the class facts about a chosen country, including how some countries celebrate the holiday season!  

Presentations were concluded with a Cultural Appreciation Feast, in which many students brought dishes and desserts specific to their country researched.  

We all benefited from the diversity presented to us in both scholarship and cuisine!  We concluded our school week, for some ushering in vacation, enlightened as to what other countries are like and possessing a deeper appreciation of (and for!) cultural diversity!

Thank you to ALL of the families who joined us!  

<3 Mrs. Katrina and Ms. Terri]]></description>

However, there is a large population who are unfamiliar with charter schools. And with anti-charter groups becoming more vocal and spreading misinformation, it’s important for all of us to do as much as we can to tell our story: charter schools put kids first!]]></description>
