A Day in the Life: San Mateo Erdkinder
A Spring Day at The Farm with the Erdkinder Community
St. Patrick's Day found us at the farm. It was a very bright, sunny, but COLD day, with a fresh prevailing wind blowing on to the land off of the ocean.
The farmers have been wanting to collect and study the insects living in the strawberry beds to better understand insect inhabitants and possible infestations that could damage the strawberry crop. Strawberries are vital to the economic health of Green Oaks Creek Farm as they are the most profitable annual crop for the farmers.

A Day in the Life: San Mateo Erdkinder
The Erdkinder Students Enjoy Using Their New Technology!
The Science Fair is dominating the EK curriculum right now, and multiple experiments are underway. There is a tremendous sense of purpose in our environment right now as students work on their research papers to support the projects, plus setting up and troubleshooting the experiments themselves.
A huge bonus has been the arrival of our new iPads from CK-12. As you all know, our PRINTS ErdKinder students won these pieces of equipment by coming third in the CK-12 national science competition. The tablets have been a boon as all of the students are using them to conduct research and record their science fair observations.
In these photographs, you can see the students engaged in their research.
Our new keyboard cases really extend the functionality of the tablets tremendously. We acquired the cases by selling one of the five iPads we won. The money we got was then used to purchase the four keyboard/cases.
We are all very thankful to Mr. Billy in the office and Ms. Riihimaki for making it easy for us to get going with our new technology.
Sometimes we use them just... to read....

A Day in the Life: Hina matsuri in San Mateo
For hina matsuri, or girls' day, we prepared presentations, food, and a display in the San Mateo hallway.
Here we are setting up Hinadolls for display.
We are describing the special foods we eat on girl's day to the Children's House children...
...any questions?
We enjoyed presenting our work in Japanese and hope the Children's House children enjoyed learning about this special day in Japanese culture.

A Day in the Life: San Mateo Erdkinder's France Projects
The Erdkinder France Culmination Projects
Last week, we Erdkinder students presented our finished projects to wrap up our journeys into France! Over the course of the last six weeks, our investigations have encompassed reading the classic text The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, deepening our learning about the French Revolution, and we also watched Les Miserables and the Sofia Coppola movie about Marie Antoinette. The students completed a wide variety of individual projects on topics such as French lavender, Madame Tussaud, The Enlightenment and Treasures of the Louvre, to name but a few.
