This week, we read Owl Moon by Jane Yolen and explored a variety of literacy activities inspired by the story. Students practiced identifying key story elements—including character, setting, main events, and point of view. We also focused on vocabulary development and used our senses to track the mood of the story. Students worked on making mental images using sensory language, helping them better understand and visualize the author’s words. It was a wonderful week of thoughtful reading and rich discussion!

The students had an amazing time skating at the Dale Fisher Arena! It was wonderful to see them building confidence, practicing balance, and having so much fun on the ice. A big thank you to the parents and volunteers who joined us—your help tying skates and going on the ice with the students made all the difference. We couldn’t have done it without you! The students are already looking forward to their next skating session!
