Principal’s Corner Please read inside about the 8th grade’s

Spring at Watsonville Charter School of
the Arts brings with it a wonderful array of
events and performances! You can see these
events on the enclosed calendar pages and
read about them elsewhere in this Newsletter.
I’m mentioning these first, because these
events and productions offer parents and
guardians a means of getting your volunteer
commitment up-to-date!
• Grades 1 & 2 “VIEW OF THE SLOUGH” –
April 1 in the MPR
• 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders play “ROCK AND
RECORDERS” – April 7 in the MPR
• EARTH DAY CELEBRATION – April 22
• DIA DEL NINO -- April 30
• Kinder and 1st grade “WHERE THE WILD
THINGS ARE” – May 8 in the MPR
• 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders present
“DANCING IN THE STREETS” – May 28 at
the Mello Center
• 6th graders are creating “ A MIDSUMMER
NIGHT’S DREAM” – date TBA
Parents and guardians, with these
performances and events, as well as
numerous planned class trips and State
testing preparation, come opportunities for
you to lend your all-important volunteer
hand! Getting enough parent help is on our
minds! If you have volunteered fewer than
20 hours this year, you will receive a call.
recent trip to Catalina Island Marine Institute
with Mr. Sugerik, both fourth grade class
overnight trips to Sacramento, and the 7th
grade’s rafting trip on the American River.
Wow – it’s great to be a kid here at WCSA!
The Courtyard area is being transformed
this spring! Jaime Sanchez, a local muralist, is
creating a water cycle mural on the inside
walls. You can observe him and his student
helpers most sunny afternoons after school—
Yvonne Leonor, Neli Avila, Christian Reyna,
Jessenia Garcia, Sonia Leonor, and Nikki
Gonzales have been painting alongside Jaime.
Yes, a couple graduates of WCSA are
exercising their creativity also.
Student Council members this year
developed fun theme days, which continue
until school ends in June. Members have
included Arleen Marquez, Jack McGrath,
Sarah Tapia, Etienne Green, Galilea Garcia,
Victoria Otvos, Samantha Galvan, Brielle
Moreno, and Donovan Arteaga. Thank you
for being enthusiastic leaders at our school!
I cannot say enough thank yous to all the
parents who are involved in leadership roles
on campus through Leadership Council,
Home and School Club, Art Auction Team,
and the Safety Committee; plus those
involved in creating the yearbook and
fundraisers that have happened throughout
this year. Staff will hold a special recognition
in May for these parents who give countless
hours to our school. They are wonderful role
models for being active partners in their

childrens’ education! We are grateful for this
wonderful support!
Thank you to Landa Rosebraugh, the
Newsletter Editor, who took on this job and
has done a great job all year!
Best regards,
Trish Hucklebridge, Principal
Home and School Club
Thank you to all those parents who made
the 08-09 fundraising events successful. With
your help we were able to make monetary
contributions to the school in many areas. The
following is a partial list demonstrating how
the Home and School Club supported the
school: purchased picnic benches for the
quad, provided scholarships for students to
attend class fieldtrips, sponsored the
upcoming Dia del Nino festival, purchased
Emergency/Safety Kits and black out curtains
for each classroom, sponsored the
materials/supplies needed to have the school
mural painted, donated half of Cookie Dough
profit to all teachers to spend on the
classroom, sponsored an ad in Growing Up in
Santa Cruz.
In addition, a BIG THANK YOU TO THE
OFFICERS – Margaret Carlon, Lorena Moran,
Geneva Ybarra-Lopez, Erin Vega, Leticia Arteaga,
and Leticia Preciado.

Window of Opportunity
Can you believe we are on our last
Trimester for the school year? Busy times are
ahead with even more ways to volunteer.
There will be the Kinder/First Grade
production “Where the Wild Things Are” and
“A View of the Slough” and the 2nd thru 5th
grade production coming in May.
To date, each family should have a
minimum of 25 hours. The volunteer report
for the end of the second trimester is that
WCSA has 290 students, and 157 students’
families ARE meeting the volunteer pledge
that we committed to at the beginning of the
school year. THANK YOU! Ms. Bateman’s
Kindergarten class has 17 of 20 students
meeting their pledge – RIGHT ON!
Unfortunately there are 19 students at
zero hours and 114 students whose families
have volunteered less than 18 hours. This
means that 133 families ARE NOT meeting
their volunteer pledge.
Please remember to log your hours in the
volunteer logbooks located in the classroom.
Hours are totaled based on what is logged in
the books. If you don’t log your hours, they
cannot be transferred to the spreadsheet that
is given to the Leadership Council.
There are other opportunities to volunteer
aside from helping in the classroom. Some of
these opportunities are Saturday workdays
(the next two are April 4 and May 2), you
may volunteer to help with sorting mail in the
office, updating the school marquee, or
helping with class activities. We also
welcome help in the cafeteria from 11:30 –
12:30 Monday thru Friday. Thank you to
Maria Bahena, Erin Vega, Dawn Ramirez,
Geralyn Speziale, Linnie Livingston, Sergio
Fuentes and Jose Zamora for regularly
committing their time to helping our children
at lunchtime.
Thank you for your time.

What’s Happening at WCSA?
By Our Amazing WCSA Teachers
Spring is a wonderful season in
kindergarten! At this point in the year the
students are beginning to look more like first
graders. They are becoming very successful
in reading little books and writing sentences.
After finishing up a unit on tide-pools in
March with a visit to the Monterey Bay
Aquarium, kinders are jumping into a science
unit on oviparous animals. We will be
learning all about birds, fish, reptiles, and
insects!
Our K-1 Spring production this year will
be "Where the Wild Things Are." Both kinder
classes are working hard on learning the story
and portraying it through drama, song, and
dance. Prepare to be amazed!
We will also start a literature unit on Leo
Lioni's "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." We
will wrap up our kindergarten year with an
exciting water cycle exploration, our Tiendita
week, and finally, GRADUATION!
Ms. Gill’s Sunny Days First Grade has
just finished studying Mesoamerica, focusing
More What’s Happening…
on the Aztecs. Students loved learning about
these great warriors, their music, dance, art,
mythology, games, and calendar. We have
also been studying the rainforest, complete
with small collaborative murals. The first
graders have become very proficient at using
our school laptops! We have explored many
educational websites, and even created a
graphic design portfolio for each student.
Wild Thing headdresses are underway, as
we look forward to our May production of
Where the Wild Things Are. April and May will
be filled with Earth Day festivities,
conservation awareness, and personal health
lessons. Also on the agenda will be making
our “Flat Stanleys”, as well as paper maché
Piggy Banks! Students are already beginning
to look forward to 2nd Grade with nervous
anticipation. The students and I are so proud
of our accomplishments this year!
Greetings from Ms. Stokes.
Spring is in the air. Our flowers are
blooming almost as quickly as the children's
minds. This is the time of year when everyone
is learning and is energetic and creative and
finding new ways to be kind to each other.
Our fundraiser brought in over $75 to help
us save an acre of the rainforest. The class
learned about the flora and fauna and most
importantly how chocolate grows on trees.
We will soon be learning about human
anatomy and the five senses. This is an
exciting unit and one that everyone seems to
enjoy.
4
In Social Sciences we will move on from
medieval times to Native Americans and
Pioneers.
We have six children now in second grade
readers and many others in close pursuit. I've
had to purchase three more second grade
workbooks just to keep up.
April 2nd is our trip to MAH in Santa
Cruz to study art. Let me know if you'd like
to attend.
Many thanks to Gilbert for all the supplies
he showers down on the class including our
new guinea pig, Mary Cassatt. Bravo!
Thank you to Dawn for the art books.
Thank you to Trisha for developing the
idea and for buying items for the Mona Lisa
planter our class did for the auction.
Velma for the yearbook page.
I couldn't do near as much in here without
your generosity.
Warmly, Manjula Stokes
Second grade has been busy watching
things. We have looked at bugs and snails
and wetland animals. We have taken our
observations and put them into written form
and we have studied what other scientists
observed about our animals and reported that
back to the class.
We went to the Elkhorn Slough and
observed things through microscopes and
binoculars. We saw white pelicans, leopard
sharks, Great Blue Herons, Greater and
Lesser Egrets and a myriad of other wonders.
"A View of the Slough" has everything it
had in past years; all 42 Second Graders, 18
First Graders, 5 songs and a crab! The show
will be in the cafeteria.
Right now we are doing a mini-unit on
Biographies and in class we will study Cesar
Chavez and compare and contrast him with
other Civil Rights Leaders.
As soon as the Slough play is done and
after the party has been cleaned up, we will
plant our seedlings with the Kindergarteners
and study moths and butterflies. We will
watch silkworm moths go from egg to cocoon
and painted lady butterflies go from
caterpillar to chrysalis and both will
hopefully be successfully released to the wild.
By the way, the snails were successfully
released into the wild last week with many
fond goodbyes! Looking forward to seeing
you at Open House after Spring Break.
Rhythm Nation – Mr. Matthews third
grade: We've been rolling along wonderfully
in our 3rd grade class. Two recent field trips
have been nice compliments to our class
work. First, we went to the San Jose Tech
More What’s Happening…
museum where we were the lucky
benefactors of a hands-on science lab and
hours of exploration. The trip fell in the
middle of our 6-week efforts to understand
the scientific method while investigating the
science of matter and preparing for our own
science fair. I was most impressed by the
students' report papers, which showed a
command of the concepts we were studying.
Their experiments and presentations,
alongside the other 3rd grade class and the
5th grade class during our science fair, was a
nice ending to the adventure.
No time to rest! The next week we dove
headfirst into local history with a crash course
on the different waves of people arriving to
the central coast over the years. We anchored
our discussion on the kinds of artifacts these
folks would have been using. A field trip last
week to the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural
History and the Museum of Art and History
allowed students to interact with a wide
variety of artifacts and replicas from the
Ohlone culture and during the Gold Rush
years. Their experiences at the museum will
serve as a nice foundation as they create a
personalized museum display that includes
important artifacts from their life.
We're wrapping up the 3-5 grade art
rotations for the year. I have enjoyed working
with all of the students in the upper
elementary in my Hip Hop art elective. This
program, where teachers share their artistic
passions for 1 hour a week with a mixed
5
group of students, has been an exciting
addition to the standard curriculum for the
teachers and the students.
In anticipation of the Spring tests Ms.
Paulus and I are heading into the final
rotation of our targeted academic instruction
(otherwise known as Reading Land and Math
Academy). It's been a pleasure working
together to address the learning needs of the
students in both 3rd grade classrooms.
Working with all 40 3rd graders has been a
pleasure these past months.
On deck are the Personal Museums that I
previously mentioned, fiction writing in the
form of comic books, painting and poetry,
plenty of dancing in preparation for the end-
of-year show, and tons of reading. Stop in to
see.
News from Paulus 3rd
Spring has sprung and the 3rd graders are
growing like weeds. That is, their basic skills
are growing. And the seeds that have been
sown over the past 7 months are beginning to
blossom. OK, enough of the garden
metaphor…but it IS a great time in our 3rd
grade world.
The March 12th –13th Science Fair was a
tremendous success! Students worked their
way through 6 weeks of concentrated activity.
Everyone completed a comprehensive report,
successfully completed an experiment,
created their own visual on the classic 3-
paneled poster board, and worked up an oral
presentation outlining what they studied,
what they learned, what their experiment was
about, how it turned out, and what their
experiment proved about the science of their
topic. Added to all that, the 3rd grade
scientists then presented their projects to
every other class in the school—one class at a
time!! It is a great truth that we learn best by
teaching others, and my 3rd graders are now
experts in all things Light and Sound.
Next up for us is the creation of our
Personal Museum Displays for Open House
on April 23. This will be a culmination of our
Important Things unit, a unit that has been
running since August. Included will be a and 4th grade is a great time to go. I

Problem solving is a daily activity, something
akin to teeth brushing. Some take to it easily
and others try to find shortcuts around the

thinking so these mathematicians do A LOT
of problem solving during their day.
There have been a number of interesting
art activities this past trimester, including
mosaic self-portraits and life drawings of our
own forearms and hands. This trimester we
will work with three-dimensional structures
and will study the Art Masters. My favorite
activity is when the 3rd graders have to
complete a drawing on paper taped to the
bottom of their desks as they lay on their
backs. There’s just no better way to
appreciate Michelangelo than that!
Happy Spring!
Wetland Wizards Update:
We Wetland Wizards are busy traveling
throughout our gorgeous state learning about
our interesting history. Did you know that in
its heyday, Mission San Juan Bautista held
over 1,500 people?! Did you know that a
8th grade Watsonville Charter School of the Arts
"California banknote' was a stiff cowhide in student Andrea Marquez does a nitrate test in our
the mid-1800's? Have you ever seen a real school wetlands area, Tarhassan Cy, with 4th grader
treasure chest or Ohlone tule boat? Well, we Alexa Cortez. Students are partnering to test water

Mr. Harris and Ms. Rondelle’s fourth
grade class: Fourth grade spent February
writing and getting ready for the state writing
test. Although that may not sound exciting,
the stories the kids wrote were fabulous! They
know how to write interesting narratives.
They were probably very successful for the
state writing test. Their
More What’s Happening…
scores are rolled into their language arts
scores for the state STAR test in May.
We are getting ready for our Sacramento
field trip in the first week of April. This has
been an on-going effort on the part of several
parents. Our fundraising has been very
successful--they raised over $3000 for this
trip. Thanks to Lorena Moran, the Carlons,
Lara Livingston, and all the other parents
who worked so hard to make this trip a
success and to make it affordable for the
families. On the itinerary is: Amtrak to
Sacramento, Sutter's Fort, the California
Indian Museum, the California Museum of
Women and History, the Capitol, and
panning for gold in Coloma.
WANTED:
Two guitars, used or new
for 5th grade music.
Contact Ms. Gentry for more
information.
Fifth grade news: I want to commend the
fifth graders on their hard work and
creativity with their science fair projects! I
was very impressed with the variety of
projects and the thought that went into them!
The first through fourth grade teachers were
very impressed as well. It was nice to see the
older students able to break down the
7
material so that it was understandable and
interesting for the younger students. First
graders were so inspired that they are now
going to do science investigations and boards
of their own!
We are coming up on one of the busiest
times of the year. The good news is that
Swing dancing has been progressing well.
Students in this class can really shake it
down! Disco is coming, soon. I will keep you
posted on costumes and make-up help as our
performance comes closer. We tentatively
have two shows at the Mello Center at the
end of May.
Test preparation is well under way. You
may have noticed that released test questions
are going home for homework. Please take
this opportunity to review these questions
with your kids. Sometimes the questions are
deceptively easy. There are actually planned
"distracter answers" which seem like they
might be right but are not. On some of the
math questions, students have the right
process on their paper and then they fill in the
wrong bubble! These released test questions
are an opportunity to prepare students for
test-taking mindset. Believing you can
understand and do well is the first and most
important step to doing well. Practice should
help to ease tensions about content since the
actual test does look quite similar to the
released test questions.
During the actual testing, fifth grade has a
big job to do. Besides English Language Arts
and Mathematics, they also have Science (4th
and 5th grade standards) and Physical
Education. On the mornings of academic
testing (six), I would like to have tostadas.
They are quick, easy, have protein and help
students to be satiated for a while. I have
found that eating, reviewing and then testing
seems to work best. I am going to ask for
support in bringing food on these days. Also,
I will need the students as rested as possible
and here on time because food serving and
test review happen almost immediately in the
morning. After that, they will take the subject
test for that day. They do not have a time
limit. While I have heard several teachers
say that they do not give homework during
that time, the truth is that I will probably still
be giving test prep work throughout. It gives
us one last opportunity to review the
problems that have been given and to
deconstruct them as a group. Also, they are
being asked to recall information that they
have been taught for the last eight months.
The review helps a lot.
We have two more field trips planned.
One is to the Corralitos Creek (Water Field
More What’s Happening…
Trip). It is a great trip that involves them
using binoculars and going on a scavenger
hunt, building ground models and learning
how our water is cleaned for consumption. It
is hands-on science and interaction with the
environment...a really good time. The second
is in April to Henry Cowell State Park. We
will appreciate the process of photosynthesis
in the presence of giant redwoods. Thank
you, again, to all the parent drivers who help
to make it happen.
I cannot believe how quickly this year has
gone by! If I don't say it enough, I have loved
teaching this class. They are bright,
enthusiastic, genuinely unique characters.
They have progressed so much! Doing
assessments for report cards is always a lot of
work but it is so gratifying to see how many
students have increased their reading level,
increased their fluency, improved their math
abilities and grown in vocabulary skills. They
are doing a lot of hard work and their effort is
really paying off. I am very proud of each
and every one of them!
The Sixth Grade: The 6th grade is delving
into Shakespeare as they study their roles in
"A Midsummer Night's Dream." They are
studying the elements of "character" as they
observe themselves and others as characters
in life. Through blocking the play (deciding
where and why to move on stage) they are
realizing that characters do not move unless
8
there is a motivation. This has caused them
to question their own movements in life-----
what IS their motivation to move? Why do
people move? Many lifelong lessons are being
accessed through preparing this production.
The students just bid farewell to Madame
LeFloch, a 6th grade teacher from Paris, who
came from France to teach the students. She
was here two weeks. We wrote letters to her
students, and she has recently told me that
letters from Paris are on the way to WCSA.
Sixth graders have completed a unit on
the life of Siddhartha touching into the
Buddhist philosophy. They know the
Eightfold Path based on the Four Noble
Truths, and have been impressed with the life
of Buddha. Before studying Buddhism, they
learned about Hinduism and are now
heading into Confucism. Sixth grade history
is a time for being introduced to major
religions, broadening their sense of the other
cultures.
As for "history" the students recently went
to San Francisco to sail on the "Hawaiian
Chieftain," a tall ship, that takes students for a
three hour sail, teaching them how to handle
the sails and the many ropes aboard the ship.
They also took classes in various aspects of
the ship and history during the time of
exploration.
After the exciting sail the students visited
several museums. Before they entered the
museum they chose four elements of art from
which to assess the art: line, color, form, and
texture. After viewing Picasso, Chagall, and
Miro, the students sat in the museum in a
circle. The rich discussion that ensued was so
inspiring. What impressed me most about the
students' sharing was the realization that the
qualities they found in the art could be
applied to their everyday lives. They are
astute in so many ways.
We continued our sojourn to McCormick
and Kuletto's, a fine seafood restaurant in
Ghirardelli Square, where Mia, the manager,
led the students under the restaurant into the
kitchens, the prep rooms, the storage area, the
wine cellar, the offices, the dessert prep, etc. in a circle in the water, we were off to the

moment I saw the island from the distance, I
knew I was going to have a great time. I was
thinking about all the activities I’d be doing
with my class like exploring the land and
ocean, learning about the environment of the
island. When my class and I arrived at the
island we met our counselor Sara, she was a
very nice person. Then after our long hike to
Cherry Cove where we were going to stay
and camp, we got to know each other. But
the best part was that we went snorkeling for
the day. It was fun and cold, I saw so many
fish and sea weed, and then Sara showed us a
sea cucumber which was kinda nasty. After
snorkeling me and my friend Yoshio decided
to go and take a shower and to be honest

Our second day in Cherry Cove we had
breakfast, then after that Sara had a big
surprise for us. We were going KAYAKING.

ready to go. After everybody was all together
