The Question of the Day was: Have you ever flown a kite? We had a great start to the day as the children unpacked, took care of their morning business, and began their morning work quickly. After completing a spelling practice paper, the boys and girls returned to the writing piece they began working on yesterday. They also enjoyed the book Dear Deer.
The students learned about producers and consumers in financial literacy. They learned how to sign a variety of sentences in ASL.
STEAM class involved painting. You may see evidence of this on your child.
Today's Inner Explorer lesson focused on taking a body scan. It ended with the students writing about three things they are thankful for about themselves/their bodies.
We continued reading A Grain of Rice. Pong Lo is now working in the palace. Ask your child about this as well as why Princess Chang Wu is so sad.
During science, the students observed their clay and water vials. They shared observations and drew diagrams about what they were seeing. This was followed by social studies. After reading A Carp for Kimiko, the students created their own carp kites. Children's Day is a holiday celebrated in Japan. Children fly kites in the shape of carp. The carp swims upstream against all odds. This makes it a symbol of strength and perseverance. The first grade carp kites will fly in our classroom as we strive to be upstanders and to persist when we meet challenges.
