Whale Watching

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.
