Oak Room Speaker Series & Artsy Thursday!

 Good afternoon, Oak Room families! We were fortunate enough to be able to kick off our Oak Room Speaker Series this morning with two wonderful guest readers from O.H.'s family. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us! We look forward to having more visitors in our class soon.



As part of Week of the Young Child, we also celebrated Artsy Thursday. Children all had the opportunity to create a tie-dye flower that we will hang around the room to replace our snowflakes on the ceiling. We are hoping this brings more warm weather and no. more. snow!



















REMINDER that tomorrow is Family Forest Day! 
Here are a few things you will need to know:
-Families will meet us AT THE FOREST, under the pergola where the picnic tables are on the Jefferson side.
-We arrive around 9:40ish.
-Once we arrive, we will have our class gather under the pergola and will dismiss students to their family so everyone knows where students are.
-If a student's family is not able to attend, please help us by welcoming those students into your family. :)
-Oak Room knows our forest expectations, they are experts at remembering how to play safe. As a little reminder for all of you:
    -Feet stay on the path in the forest
    -Nature stays in the forest
    -Let it grow!
    -If you are carrying a stick, be aware of those around you.
    -You have the gear, it's your choice how to play in mud and puddles
    -Be curious, have fun!

We are so excited to have time to enjoy one of our favorite places with some of our favorite people! Please let us know if you are able to attend, so we have an idea of how many to expect. We hope to see you there!

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

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!
