Our school`s project Nurture Through Nature has successfully started last week with its first step - Suzuki Foundation Assemblies held on Tuesday, April 12th.
During the week of April 18th, our class was invited to the library to have each student start the seedling growth process. Students were provided with starter soil, seeds and a little container.
This coming week, classes will be invited to come out and help rehabilitate the soil in the bed area.
Then, on the evening and day of April 28th and beyond, classes will be invited to come and plant their seedlings in the designated area. we are all excited about this project!
Also, this coming week is the Eco-School night on Thursday, April 28th, starting at 6.30 pm. We hope to see you there!
To celebrate Earth Day, students in our class listened to songs related to this theme and also, had fun creating silly story-foam cup pots and planting cress seeds in it. In a few days, we expect to see the cress grow and then students can take home their delicious project (as you may know, cress leaves can be chopped on eggs or salads for breakfast!)! See some pictures below...
Special THANK YOU to Ms Stahmer and the team who organized for our primary students to watch the Little Red Theater production '' Ivy Green: Guardian of the forest'' .... It was really amazing!!! Through this eco-play, students learned how to protect the forest, how to reuse, reduce and recycle, to value ''mother nature'' ....all these in a fun musical way.e future.
Curriculum at a glance:
Math: We are learning about Data management and Probability. As you may know, a homework related to this was sent home for this weekend in order to provide your child with additional practice.
Science: We are going to start learning about Growth and Changes in Animals.
Social Studies: Soon, the last unit, Global Communities, will be started.
Language: Students are in process of writing their own stories (or in group of 2) following the procedural writing steps we`ve been learning about recently.
Well....I hope you all have a great week!
Regards,
Mme Paraschiv
