Parents,
This week we will be talking more about our ocean biome. We will be talking about the different layers of the ocean. We will be looking at the parts of a fish and doing an experiment with pennies in water.
We will be introducing the 5th habit of happy kids which is seek first to understand and then to be understood. This habit is more challenging for children to put into practice but great to talk about and practice. The idea behind this habit is to listen before you talk. We explain it to the students in this way “I listen to other people’s ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoints. I listen to others without interrupting. I am confident in voicing my ideas. I look people in the eyes when talking”.
Our formal Valentine’s snack will happen on Friday. Thank you to everyone who has singed up to bring items and volunteer. We will be handing out Valentines to classmates. We have 21 students in the morning class and 16 students in the afternoon class. Your child does not need to make a valentine box we have made these in class. Please remember to just sign who the valentine is from and not who it goes to.
Have a great week.
Ms. Jen & Ms. Jess
