Google began in January 1996 as a college research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both students at Stanford University in California. They thought about a better system to analyze internet websites by their importance. The name “Google” originated from the number one followed by one hundred zeros. (That is a lot of data). Google Search is the company’s most popular service. In May 2011, the number of monthly unique visitors to Google surpassed 1 billion for the first time. Today Google has many different products like Gmail (email), Google Books (Library), Google Docs (word processor, spreadsheet, and presentations), and most recently Google Drive (stores all your files in the internet).

4th Grade Overnight Trip
I’m sure many of you have bought a bracelet from Ella, Erin, Carolina, and Jimena and me. Together, we’ve raised over $300 dollars, and all of the money we’ve raised is going to be given to our sister school in Uganda. We have had so much fun making the bracelets and we’re sure you have had fun buying them. The bracelets come in all different sizes, colors, and patterns. The best part about this project is that we know the money is going for such a good cause.

Every year the 2nd grade has the privilege of studying the biographies of important citizens. For example: Ana Paula is a fine ballet dancer and decided to study somebody connected to her dancing, Darcy Kistler! She studied her, and soon it was time for the Wax Museum. Everybody
brought 40 dimes. We all put one dime in each character’s box, and they came alive and told us facts about themselves. Then we tried to guess their person. We all had lots of fun, and the 2nd graders did such a great job raising money for Uganda!
