Penguins in Preschool!
As preschoolers learn
about the world, they spend
time learning about the four
seasons as well as the fact
that the seasons follow one
another regularly. This winter,
Marion Springett preschoolers attending the La
Principal Tierra Early Childhood Center
learned about penguins and the
fact that some penguins are lucky enough to
live where they can see the Northern Lights,
also known as the Aurora Borealis. As they
learned about how the fluttering, bright,
colorful lights fill the night sky in some parts
of the world, they painted their own penguin
with an Aurora Borealis as the background!
While preschoolers are too young to grasp
the fact that the Northern Lights are a
phenomenon that is caused by energy from the
sun carried towards Earth on the solar winds,
learning about the Northern Lights sparked
their curiosity which can open the door for a
love of learning that becomes lifelong!

over 6 years. She started her
teaching journey at Del Cerro,
Jennifer Kajdasz but has been at Rancho Canada
Principal for the past 6 years mainly
teaching 5th grade. What is her
favorite subject to teach? Math because she
knows how difficult math can be for students.
She enjoys seeing those lightbulb moments
with students when it just “clicks”. She loves
listening to all of their strategies for problem
solving and thinks it’s incredible hearing
how their brains work and think critically
at such a young age. She readily admits that
her students constantly teach her new ways
of thinking. Her favorite part of teaching is
the relationships she gets to build with her
students. Mrs. Breidenbach fosters a safe
community in her class and we are thankful
to have her on staff!

Our school is thrilled to
announce that two RSM teachers
were nominated as Teachers of
the Year.
Mrs. Sheryl Gomez (left)

Tyler Morgan Intermediate Teacher of the Year
Principal because she inspires students to

states, “I want my students to choose friends
wisely and make healthy decisions and be
confident and equipped to do so.”
Mr. Todd Schulman (right) was nominated as
Parenting OC Teacher of the Year. According to
Todd, “The most important thing for students
to learn in my class is to love or enjoy coming to
math. If a student wants to go to math, they will
learn more.” Mr. Schulman has truly established
himself as a leading educator at RSM.
We are proud of both teachers for their
continued efforts and excellence in teaching at
RSM.

Nathan Monte scaled his
first climbing wall when he
was 12 and was hooked. Soon
after, he joined a climbing
team and began to compete.
To maximize his potential,
Glenn Giokaris Nathan wanted more time to
Principal climb and needed a flexible
school schedule. He enrolled
in the Virtual Academy (SVA) three years
ago. Now in his senior year at SVA, Nathan is
one of the best climbers in the nation. In his
last competition, he placed among the top 30
climbers in the United States!
Nathan confesses that he is not a
“natural” climber. Through hard work,
bordering on obsession, he has steadily
improved, training 20 hours a week. Nathan
explains that getting to the top of a wall on
which you have fallen 100 times before is
addicting. Next year, Nathan plans to move
to Salt Lake City, to climb and to pursue his
goal of joining the USA Climbing Team.

Yoona C. diagnosed with autism.
David and Catherine’s
mom would go to OT. Catherine would
sometimes come to. That’s where
Catherine met a friend called Jason. Jason
is a teenage boy in a wheelchair that can’t talk. They first
meet when Catherine is bored and draws Jason. Jason
catches her and tells his mom with his communication
book. Jason’s mom gets angry, but that soon leads to
Catherine making word cards for Jason. Catherine also
meets another person named Kristi. Kristi is a “cool” girl
as said by Catherine. At first, Catherine is embarrassed to
tell Kristi she has a brother that has autism and a friend
who is in a wheelchair. Will Catherine learn to value good
friendships? Will she find out what is truly important to
her? Read to find out!
