Students are presenting research media in the form of a play, PowerPoint , board with visuals. 8 Teams will be presenting orally to the class.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten Students have been learning all about community. We took and exciting field trip to the Los Feliz Branch Library where we checked out books, got new library cards, and had a special private tour. Thank you Librarian Rachel! We also ventured to the Los Feliz Firestation. An exciting visit for our young students. We will be starting our unit on Weather next.
4th Grade CST Writing Assessment
All 4th Graders will take the CST Writing Assessment on Tuesday, March 6th. The test will begin promptly at the start of the day.
Third Grade Team
On Saturday, February 25th, Ms. Ruz accompanied 12 of our 3rd grade students and their parents to the Central Library in downtown Los Angeles. It was a fun and exciting trip that was sponsored by our Councilmember Mr. Tom LaBonge. It was wonderful to see him and his wife. Our students and parents were welcomed by docents and had a tour of the beautiful library, followed by a puppet show, and time to check out books. Our gratitude is sent to the LaBonge's for their involvement and genorosity to our community. Rotations: 3rd graders will begin their enrichment rotations (along with all 3rd grade students) in which they will break into groups and participate in activities in the subjects of math, music, art and Shakespeare. The rotations are every Thursday for 1 hour and are led by Mrs. Hovsepian, Mrs. Horiuchi, Dr. Motzkus, and Mrs. Williams.

This February, second grade students in Ms. Perez, Ms. Banks, and Mr. Hernandez’s classes had the incredible opportunity to be treated as VIP guests of the Getty Museum. Thanks to a grant that Mr. Hernandez applied for and was granted, Franklin students and parent chaperones were given the rare opportunity to work in small groups with museum instructors and participate in the “Artists as Storytellers” program in which students focused on select works of art and had conversations about art and how artists are able to tell a story through art. Students not only discussed what they saw in the art, but also were able to make their own art inspired by what they were observing. At school, second grade has been working on the theme of expression and creativity through art, movement, storytelling, and writing so the visit to the museum allowed for the students to make many connections to their learning. The outing was a fantastic opportunity for the students to learn while enjoying what the city has to offer.
