December 2024

December is upon us and how can this be?  Students have spent time learning how to be kind to one another.  We have talked about what it means to problem solve.  Students have made many Christmas and winter crafts, celebrating the season.  We had a family night planned that has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict.

November 2024

Oh what fun this November will be. Students have learned different creative ways to create and decorate turkeys for the Thanksgiving season.  Students also learned about measurement with sand art. We have also spent some time learning the different ways to be thankful and show others you are thankful for them. We have continued Reading Buddies with high school students from our Ignite program.

October 2024

Oh what fun this October will be.  Our students are taking their knowledge of shapes and learning about patterns and building our counting skills.  We will be reading some new books about character traits and being a kid of character, while trying our hand at decorating book characters.  Our students will have the chance to use their crafting gene by finishing our salt dough projects, starting some fall apple suncatchers along with other fall crafts. We will also be starting Reading Buddies with high school students from our Ignite program.

Enrichment

September 2024

We are kicking off our new year of SPARKS.   Students are learning new friends and teachers while we learn about nature with our salt dough leaf crafts.  We are also working on self regulation and accountability with the Good Egg. Who doesn't love learning with shapes. Building things while we learn different shapes.  We are off to a good start and can't wait to see these little learners grow.

This month in ELA Enrichment we learned about being kind to others while being kind to ourselves reading the book The Good Egg.  We talked about how to know what is best for us and not stressing out about what other people are doing.  We created our own eggs based on our feelings and the expectations we think we have for ourselves and others.  What great kids we have in our SPARKS program.
