Hello Parents!
We had a FANTASTIC time during our field trip! Though the weather was foggy, we saw so many whales, it was the best whale watching trip we had EVER. It was so amazing to see the whales coming up to breathe, they even showed us their flukes. It was so great! Thank you for all the parents to joined us and helped us out. Your help was very appreciated.
Couple announcements,
We are having our Lunar New Year festival today and we will be talking about it in our classes. Please ask your children when they come home about what they learned.
We have our 100th day of school coming up! If you have not turned in the project, please do so. We got a couple already and they look fabulous!
We have chess every THURSDAY for 20 minutes during rest time. We have an awesome teacher who comes to the room every week and the students are so engaged! Also, the students will have a chance to participate in chess club as they get older. The students are just starting out, but it's very exciting to see how engaged the students are in chess! We can't to see them play.
To find out more about the program, you can go to the program's website, www.chesstrain.org. You can also order different chess boards from their website if you wish to do so.
Next week we will be learning about the letter /N/. As always, please practice the story at home with your child as well as all the letters (and their sounds) we have learned so far. It is important to review as the students are learning new letters.
Thank you so much for your help and support.
Florita, Fanahi and Maria.

Welcome back!
Welcome back to school parents!
We hope everyone had a nice three weeks off. The weather has been a little bit funky, make sure your children dress in layers! You know it gets SUPER HOT up here!
This week we learned about the letter /u/.
Next week, we'll learn about the letter /b/.
It is so important that the students practice reading the story EVERY SINGLE DAY. Please keep reviewing the sounds of the letters that we have studied so far. It will come in handy.
In Maria's class, the students have been learning about Dr. Martin Luther King. The students will also learn about the Lunar New Year in two weeks.
In Florita's class, the students are learning about "take away". They are continuing with number sentences and word problems with pictures.
Please continue to work with your children at home. We have been seeing a lot of improvements but it's crucial that they keep reviewing at home.
We have our second field trip coming up soon! Please remember that this trip has limited seating on the boat for the parents. Also, please keep in mind, it is first come first serve. If you would like to join us, please let your teacher know ASAP. We'll find out if we can get more space on the boat and if we do, we'll let you know!
As always, thank you for your cooperation.
