Dear Families,

Wishing all the amazing moms and caregivers a very Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for all the love, care, and support you give every day!

Here is a quick update on what we have been learning in our classroom this week.

Field Trip & Classroom Highlights

A BIG thank you to our parent volunteers for joining us on our field trip to the Hangar Museum. Your support made this experience meaningful and memorable for our students! We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

Literacy

We are excited to welcome Ms. Docherty into our classroom as we begin a new literacy center activity! Students have been engaged in exploring new strategies during their reading time. Ask your child what they have been learning and enjoying in our reading centers!

Writing
This week, students wrote thoughtful haiku poems for someone very special! We encourage you to ask your child to read their poem aloud at home! We also had the opportunity to share our Circle Story books with Ms. Qi’s class, which was a wonderful way to celebrate our writing and connect with another classroom. 

Mental Health Awareness Day 

We recognized Mental Health Awareness Day by learning about the importance of understanding our feelings and how mental health affects our daily lives. Students discussed and practiced strategies for taking care of their well-being, and wrote a short paragraph sharing their ideas on how to maintain positive mental health.

Math
In math, students reviewed what polygons are and continued learning about perimeter, including how to find unknown side lengths through hands-on experiences. We also explored angles, what they are, how to identify them in our environment, and how to use familiar references to compare different angles.

Science

In science, students investigated how plants and animals respond to stimuli in their environment. They are beginning to understand how living things react and adapt to changes around them.

P.E

Students had fun playing badminton this week!
