We are finished with the letter books officially!

Hello parents!
There are only 29 days of school left! The time went by so fast this year! yikes.

Now that we are finished with the letterbooks, we will be spending time with a book a week for the next couple weeks. Each class will start with a different book and we will rotate.

Room. 5 will be reading "Go, Dog Go!"
Room. 6 will be reading "Are you my Mother?"
Room. 7 will be reading "If you give a mouse a cookie"

If you have any of these book at home, please start reading it with your child over the weekend.

In Maria's class, she will be discussing seeds next week.
In Florita's class, she will be discussing money, especially coins.
In Fanahi's class, she will be working on writing with the students.

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, and/or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Easter Break!

Hello parents!

Easter Break is just around the corner! We hope you will have a nice and relaxing one, we all deserve it!

As Earth Day is approaching, we will be doing various activities talking about what we can do for our mother earth. We would like you to talk with your children at home about what they can do for earth such as recycling. We want them to be aware that though it may seem little, we all play a part in helping the earth to get better! To raise the awareness and educate our children, over the break please talk with your children about the drought issue we are facing now. You can direct your conversation to things the children see around them, especially when you go to the super market and noticing the prices on fresh fruit. Please talk with them about how we can save water due to the drought and what may happen if we run of water. Yikes :(

When we come back for the break, we will spend a week for review week. There will be daily homework but no weekly homework for now :)

That's all for now, have a fantastic week off! enjoy the beautiful sun and relax with your beautiful children. We all deserve it after working hard every day!

Happy April!

Hello parents!

Happy April! (can you hear Spring Break coming up! Whoo hoo!)

We spent a week with /x/ and /y/, and as you might have guessed, we will learn about /z/, the last letter of the letter books! (Can you believe how fast it went?!)

Thank you so much for those of you who sent in the box project early! They look fabulous, we are so excited to hear all about it from the students!

We are spending time with "Read it! Draw it! and Solve it!". It enhances on the prior knowledge and we are practicing writing complete equations.

In Maria's class, we are learning about seeds. It has been a great experience to have the garden right in front of our classes to see how they have been growing!

We have one more week until Spring Break! We can do this!

Hang in there,
Florita, Fanahi, and Maria
