The first week of 2024-2025 school year!

We started our first week of school with introducing ourselves to each other. It was very excited and joyful to see our friends again. During last week, we watched Cocomelon, simple songs, ABC songs, and many more. We started our mornings with “Circle Time” and participated in our morning meeting routine. We ate breakfast and lunch as a group in our classroom, and then we took a nap when the time permits. We had a visit from our physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy specialists. Finally we visited the Gym, Art, and the Music. Our story for this week was “The Pigeon HAS to Go to School!”, and it’s written by “Mo Willems”.

Creative project team made a beautiful visit to our classroom and helped us making a crayon craft. It was so fun working with them again.

Our classroom family consists the following members:

Ms. Ilham Alasady (the teacher), Ms. Aseel (Paraprofessional), Ms. Fatema (Paraprofessional).

Our kiddos are: Bisan, Fatima, Esraa, Ava, Adam, Anisa, Ahmed.
