West Valley had their annual Chinese New Year dragon parade today. The first graders spend the morning learning about the customs and traditions around this holiday and in the afternoon they show off the dragons they have created in a fun parade while cheered on by the rest of the school. Happy Year of the Snake!

🌟 Tiny Architects with Big Hearts! 🏡❤️ 🌟

De Vargas 3rd Graders embarked on a mathematical journey to design Tiny Homes, but what they truly built was empathy! 💡💭

Their Driving Question: How can we, as architects, design a tiny house that meets the needs of our clients? led them to discover so much more than just area and perimeter. As they interviewed their one of 7 assigned clients, they realized that designing a home isn't just about numbers—it’s about truly listening and understanding needs.

🔹 They researched real home dimensions, appliances, and accessibility features.
🔹 They met experts, including a Realtor and an EMT, to learn about designing for special physical needs (like wheelchair and walker access).
🔹 They even researched the first legal Tiny Home on wheels in San Jose, which happened to be created by a former De Vargas student! 🚐🏠

Through challenges, calculations, and creativity, these young architects showed what it means to be Resilient Learners—applying math in real life, thinking critically, and designing with heart. ❤️

Thank you, San Jose Vice Mayor Kamei, Realtor Darlene Brinkerhoff, EMT Zack Chow, and many other ADU experts and CUSD district members who came to be experts and clients. Learning was happening everywhere, especially for the teachers!

Amazing work, 3rd graders! The future of architecture is looking tiny but mighty! 💪🏡✨



**Pictures include clients listening to their Architect groups' final proposals and 3 out of a total of 20 floorplans examples presented. Some groups began building a model to scale. It was graded on measurement accuracy rather than appearance of the final product.

Last week, Nimitz 3rd grade students participated in The Hour of Code, a global event that introduces kids to computer science through fun, one-hour coding activities. The goal is to show that coding is for everyone and that anyone can learn the basics. In each of our 3rd grade classes, students learned about code by using the Scratch Jr application to build a scene with cars and explored movement with these, used an Hour of Code Dance Party program to use code to create an avatar, select music and make the avatar dance, and students even experienced coding using a Minecraft application that required them to created a home with their code. We hope these experiences last week continue to inspire our students to explore computer science in the future! 🐬

Happy Halloween!

West Valley's Walk-a-thon is right around the corner! Our mascot, Wiley, and a few silly teachers got the students excited about this upcoming community event. There will be LOTS to do and LOTS of fun to be had!
