Dear Family,

How are you all doing? Wondering how we spent our three school days? Well, we made the best of our time, following our daily schedules and continuing our family project. Let’s take you through our week!

Besides our usual routine, this week’s topic was “How Are Our Families the Same and Different?” We talked about where we come from, the languages we speak at home, our countries of origin, and our citizenships. We even learned how to greet each other in our different languages! It was a lovely way to appreciate our differences and discover what we have in common.

Since we’ve been working on our family project, most of our sessions were connected to it, giving our children different ways to explore and learn about their families. We also continued with our planned Math and Science activities.

In Math, we continued counting by 10s, but this time we added 1s to make things a little more challenging. Well, challenging it wasn’t! Our children did so well that some completed not just one, but three to five worksheets, depending on their pace and the time available.

In Science, it was finally time to plant! Remember the seeds we explored last week; corn, wheat, and chickpeas? Our children each chose which seeds they wanted to plant and labeled their planting containers. Now we’ll observe and record their growth together to see what happens over time.

Next week’s schedule:

Monday – Math, Literacy

Tuesday – Literacy, Science

Wednesday -Library, Math

Thursday - Science, Music

Friday - Library

Specials:

Monday- Art

Tuesday - Gym

Thursday - Ethiopian center/ clay

Reminders and notes:

• Please make sure that our children are wearing suitable clothes on Monday as we have art class and activities get messy sometimes.

• Every Wednesday and Friday is library day. Our children will be bringing home a book of their choice in their library folder, so please make sure to read the book with them over the weekend. Please return the folder the following Wednesday so they can get a new one.

 • Every Tuesday, we have gymnastics, so please ensure that our children come dressed in comfortable and loose fitting sports attire to facilitate their exercise.

• Every Friday, we have football, so please make sure our children wear their football jerseys if they have them, or any comfortable shorts.

Thank you for your time, and we hope you enjoy looking through our pictures. We can’t wait to have all our kinders back on Monday!
