It's been a full and busy week! Things can get pretty hectic as we wrap up the last few weeks of school, but I am also trying to slow down and enjoy every moment with this sweet class! I will miss them a lot next year!
This week we said adiós to our friend Maestra Kayla, a student intern from the high school who has been helping out this semester. The kids have loved getting to know her and having her visit us every Tuesday and Thursday.
We also had a wonderful time at the Outdoor Discovery Center on Wednesday, where we participated in a nature scavenger hunt and enjoyed lots of outdoor play.
Here are some more updates from our week...
Reading / Lectura: We studied the syllables with x and w this week. We've also been focusing on the verbs gustar and encantar, which mean "I like..." and "I love...". We are also learning about how we can talk about similarities and differences between two books.
Writing / Escritura: We are working on our animal research books! This week we completed our table of contents, or tabla de contenido, and started the writing process.
Math / Matemáticas: We are continuing to work on the parts of 10, 2D and 3D shapes, and numbers from 11-20.
Bible / Biblia: This week we have continued our study of milagros y parábolas de Jesús. We learned about the miracles of Jesus walking on water, healing the blind man, and making a coin appear in the mouth of a fish.
Science / Ciencias: We did some learning in the invernadero (greenhouse) this week learning about plants. We learned about what plants need to survive: agua, aire, tierra, y sol.
Half Day Thursday
On Thursday, May 11, school will be in session on a half day schedule due to the Tulip Time Kinderparade.
Buses will run in the AM ONLY. There will be no shuttle or route buses running after school. Students will need to find alternate transportation home on this day.
Service Opportunity!
Dear Rose Park Families,
We have the opportunity to bless and support area special needs families through a joint project by two local nonprofits: thelucasproject.org and A Kid Again. The Lucas Project was begun by one of our new Rose Park families and Ms. Scott's class will be helping to pack these care packages on June 1. Any gifts, either purchased through the Amazon Wish List or monetary donations given at https://thelucasproject.org website, will be welcomed and used to encourage caregivers of special needs and their entire family. What a wonderful way to share God's love with others as we end our school year. Please see the attached flyer for additional information.
