Greetings, Friends & Families!

Poem of the week

A Million Valentines

I’ll cut a valentine

Just for you.

I’ll cut out one,

I’ll cut out two,

I’ll cut out three,

I’ll cut out four,

I’ll cut out five__

Or maybe more.

I’ll cut a hundred,

A thousand too.

I’ll cut a million

Just for you.

A million million

Are too few

To say how much

I love you!

What was happening?

This week, my explorers started their exploration of the letter L. They created their “mini L book” and they collected different images that start with the letter L and glued them inside. They also started their “I Can Write” packet about the letter of the week, the letter L. The explorers made a ladybug out of construction papers that represented the letter L.

For their reading comprehension, the explorers were reading “My teacher is a Monster! No, I Am Not” book by “Peter Brown”. We answered “wh” questions, such as, “What story did we read?” and, “who was the character in the story?”. We ended this week by reviewing “What’s Up, Duck? A Book of Opposites” by “Tad Hills”. We have been also learning how to identify words and pictures when are presented by the teacher or the staff.

This week, we continued our learning of the core word “GO”. Each one of the explorers has their own copy of the book “Where did you go?” book so they can enjoy it with their families at home. They enjoyed reading the book with the teacher and other staff, as well.

A big shout out and thank you for Abdou A. & Adam F. from Ms. Polster’s class for helping out and reading a story with our little ones. Fourth graders, you rock! because of you, our “Reading Buddies” program is amazing!

We also revisited our five senses in science this week. We learned that we have five senses: hearing, seeing, smelling, feeling, and tasting. We used our science book “I Use My Senses” by “Amy Bihn” and illustrated by “April Black”.

For this week’s math, we started a new concept, shapes. The explorers had the chance to play games with shapes, trace different shapes, and identify them.

Our kiddos enjoyed their educational and fun time during their visits to Gym, Music, and Art.
