During International Day, our kindergarteners showed how they can be great communicators by asking thoughtful questions about the culture, traditions, and food of the Dominican Republic. They were curious and respectful, eager to learn more about a culture different from their own. It was a wonderful opportunity to practice listening and speaking skills while celebrating diversity in our classroom community.

Our kindergarteners demonstrated open-mindedness by trying something new. Chocolate-covered bananas with a variety of fun toppings! Students had the opportunity to explore new tastes and textures, and many stepped out of their comfort zones to try it. It was a sweet way to encourage curiosity and celebrate being open to new experiences.

Kindergartners have been reflective by thinking about what it means to be a good citizen in our classroom and school community. They’ve been taking time to talk about their actions, how they treat others, and the importance of kindness, responsibility, and making safe choices. By reflecting on moments where they helped a friend, followed rules, or made a mistake and learned from it, students are growing into thoughtful members of our classroom community.

This month in our science exploration, we’re focusing on butterflies! The students are discovering the incredible life cycle of a butterfly. From tiny egg to caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally, a beautiful butterfly. Through hands-on observations and engaging activities, we’re learning about change, growth, and the wonders of nature right in our classroom.
