Central Valley Home School - February 2015

Peach Blossom - March 12, 2015

The purpose of the Peach Blossom Festival is to expose children to oral interpretation and allow them to have a positive experience at Fresno State.  The children that attend are from all areas of the Central Valley.  Past festivals have accommodated up to 6,000 children!  

Students memorize and perform a poem/oral reading in front of designated judges (CSU Speech students).  


Trout in the Classroom

On January 26, the coho eggs arrived.  They are currently sleeping in a dark, cold environment getting ready to hatch.  Once hatched, the cover will be removed, students will study the fry (tiny fish) for approximately 30-45 days, and then release them into an approved watershed area.  Thank you to Kaweah fly fishers for this opportunity.

Lego Robotics

Older CVHS students just wrapped up their first club meeting. They are learning to build and operate the Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot.  Technically, January through June are considered an off season for competition.  We are hoping this exposure will get their feet week and have them ready for competition competition next school year.
