<br />
This week we are focusing our attention on garden ecology and more specifically on the insects and spiders in our garden. We will discuss the importance of these small creatures to the garden and then proceed with a bug hunt to see the variety of insects present. If time and money permit we will try and preserve some of the more interesting specimens.<br />
<br />
The fifth graders are proceeding with their Apple Diversity project. We have taste tested a variety of apples and have collected their seeds. Last week we made origami pots which we then used to plant our apple seeds. Now, we will wait for the seeds to take and check their growth. Later we will find a permanent home for our apple trees. Much later we will get to see the types of apples that will develop. (A crash course in genetics.)<br />

Whose books,<br />
<blockquote>"...stress the principle that growing children are true to their biological nature, and thus any attempt to push or force their development are doomed to failure. When a child does not seem to be doing what other children are doing...[eventually] the child will develop the appropriate behavior. Thus children who are not learning are simply not ready to learn; when they are ready, learning will happen."<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> 1</span></blockquote><br />
With these principles in mind children learn at their own pace and associate with children of various ages but, perhaps, at the same developmental level. Children are encouraged to learn social skills and knowledge from one another. Parents are also encouraged to interact with their children and peers by volunteering once a week in the mornings. As a cooperative the parents also help determine the direction of the school.<br />
<br />
There are various activities children participate in: outdoor plat, imaginative play, art, reading, games, group time and field trips.<br />

The council meets monthly to discuss funding for community projects, crime statistics, and important neighborhood news. Some meetings feature guest speakers ranging from city officials and members of law enforcement to presentations on family activities. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of the month from 7-8:45 pm, and are open to the community.<br />
The Neighborhood Council's website is also a great resource, providing minutes of Council meetings, links to local businesses and community resources, and historical information on the neighborhood provided by its residents.

In 1964, Bruce Lee drove from Seattle, Washington to Oakland, California where Kung Fu master James Yimm Lee operated a martial arts studio in the garage of his Maxwell Park home, at 3039 Monticello Avenue. <br />
Bruce moved to Oakland to “live and train with James. Together they ran a martial arts school in that garage and developed the Jeet Kune Do style now associated with Bruce’s fame. So it was that for two years Bruce, his newlywed wife Linda, and their firstborn Brandon lived in Maxwell Park.” <br />

Maxwell, a native of Illinois and later a resident of Adams Point, the development was advertised as "Oakland's Addition Beautiful". The new addition to the city would have beautiful views, schools and access to public transportation. A streetcar line was extended into the neighborhood, along with a Southern Pacific electric line that allowed for fast transportation to San Francisco. All homes in Maxwell Park were also built in different styles to add distinction and a sense of place for each resident. At the time, home and lot prices ranged from $600- $1400 dollars with a down payment of only $1 dollar! <br />
