I found out the price for the Saturday course. It is from 9am-5pm and it is $95 for 1 person and $150 for a couple.
International Peace Day: Is this Thursday! We will be singing with children across the world! We will be singing at 10:00am. Our class is going to make Peace Doves to hang and have a discussion on what is Peace and what are examples of global peace. I will be presenting this in the afternoon.
In class History project for 1st graders: 1st grade parents!: This week we are going to have each 1st grader make a timeline of their life. Could you please send in 1 picture (print out or actual pictures) for each year of their life so they can make an in class project. Please send in by this TUESDAY.
PAST WEEK:
This week in group lessons:
Level 1s: Naming fraction families, geometric solids introduction, 1/2 of students completed Math assessment- other half this coming Monday
Level 2s: Naming and writing fractions, line review, time to quarter/half hour review, all 2nd graders completed Math assessment

In cultural this week: Botany
Level 1s: Lifecycle and parts of a plant
Level 2s: Parts of a leaf and how veins work on a leaf
Level 3s: Parts of a flower
2nd graders enjoyed going outside this past Tuesday and got to pick their own leaf. We then learned how to do a leaf rubbing and got to work on labeling real leaf parts from the rubbing. 2nd grade students enjoyed seeing real veins on a leaf and I showed them the little tubes in the main vein of a piece of lettuce because it’s veins coloring was purple.
Our room mother, Alicia Thomas, is going to be working on Fall/Halloween party and will be needing help. Please keep an eye out from her as she will be looking for parent and supply/decor help. Thanks!
Have a great rest of your weekend and upcoming week
Cheers!
