Happy Friday!

Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! It's hard to believe that we are rounding out our 5th week of school already!  The children continue to enjoy working with the clay creating lady bugs, pizza, nests with eggs and baby dragons, and so very much more!  The children are learning the feel of the material, experimenting with adding water and how that affects the structure and movement of the clay.  The children tried using felt tip pens for their drawing this morning and had the following to share about that experience:

GI: "I drawed elsa and Ana"
DY: "It was one color"
AF: "It was just like a black sky"
BW: "I made two snail shells and one was bigone and it was a snow baby and the other was an alien baby"
PK: "and a polka dot"
IF: "Rainbows are my favorite"


















Have a wonderful weekend!

Reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow for a work day for teachers. Have a wonderful long weekend!

Lunar New Year

Image
Good afternoon, Oak Room Family! The children have been learning about lunar new year and after the children helped repair Ms Lena’s lion last week we were able to do a lion dance as a class today.  The children listened to their own heartbeats while calm and after jumping around and then used instruments to act as the lion’s heartbeat fast and slow for different feelings of the lion. Today is the first day of Lunar New Year and the beginning of the year of the wood snake. We also enjoyed small capers today and practiced a fire drill.  We wish you a healthy and prosperous new year and hope that like the snake you can shed and leave behind that which you don’t want to bring with you into the new year!

Self Portrait Work & Another Guest Reader

Image
Good afternoon, Oak room families! Today some children had the opportunity to work on their self portrait paintings. It is amazing to see the amount of growth in the children's detailed work since we first did this project in the Fall! We are excited to put our pictures on these pieces and get them displayed soon. We also had another fabulous guest reader this morning! G.B.'s mom came and read a few stories to the class. Thank you so much for visiting, Ms. Kylie! Friends had some fun in the gym this morning, too. It's hard to be stuck inside during these rainy Spring days, but we are making the most of our indoor spaces. It was a fantastic morning! Have a wonderful evening!
