Positive Notes Home

We are looking forward to sending positive notes home to those that earn them. Students can acquire them by listening to their teachers, being a kind friend by sharing and taking turns and by trying their best!

Look for them in your child's school bag!

 

Krishnashtami Celebration

Krishnashtami is an annual Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Krishna, the god of compassion, tenderness, and love.

Thank you to Medha and Gyan's parents for allowing me to share this beautiful of photo of them! Stunning!

 

Balancing Robots

This week in science we challenged students to find the center of gravity and balance a robot. They were given a robot to decorate, along with sticky tack and 2 coins. Then they had to figure out where to place their coins in order to make their robot balance!

It looks like Archie figured it out!

It's not a dot...

Today Ms. Alicia challenged us to make something amazing with only a dot. We made cars, snowmen, bikes, apples, and lots of smiley faces.

What can you make with just a dot or two?

How high can you go?

A tower is a tall structure, taller than it is wide, often by a significant margin. Today we tried making our own towers out of 3 different kinds of blocks. We learned that the more support we had on the sides, the taller we could make them without them falling over.

Can you try one at home?

 

Read. Write. Think.

Learning to recognize letters is integral to early literacy. The ABC Match game offers students the chance to match initial letters with pictures while also using their memory skills to remember which cards are where.

Should I Share My Ice Cream?

We made our first class book this week based on Mo Willems Should I Share my Ice Cream? This simple story allowed us to discuss sharing, friendship and generosity.

Take your little one out for ice cream this weekend and ask them to share it with you!

Penne for your thoughts...

Everyone did an amazing job with their pasta face art this week! I loved that every single one us came away with a unique piece of art.
