Welcome back! I hope you all had a relaxing break, if you were lucky enough to get one yourselves! The week before break we had a lot going on, including conferences. Thank you all for coming and sharing in your child's learning. The children loved showing their work and it was wonderful to see such great support from home.
Before the break we began examining how our imagination and creativity can help us in solving problems. At one point during the day Wednesday the students entered the classroom to find that all the chairs and the carpet missing! We spent the rest of the day using our imaginations to complete our necessary work without these items. The students were very creative and quite unfazed by the change!
We also looked at ordinary objects and thought of novel ways to use them. Look at some of the ideas the students came up with:
In KG-M we've been doing a lot of word building and examining, and we've learned that the "hard-workers", or vowels, work so hard that they have more than one job. This helps us when stretching out words as we know to try the vowels' different sounds. We've also learned about "bossy e" and how this silent e at the end of the word tells the other vowels what to do.
Just before the break we celebrated a special day with Fatima as she turned six. Ava and Dongmin also turned six over the break and we enjoyed making cards for them to let them know how special they are to us. Happy birthday Fatima, Ava and Dongmin!
