We have started a unit on health--taking care of our bodies. During this past week the children have read about the importance of exercise and water. We learned that exercise is good for our bones and muscles. Teacher Mayra and I have encouraged each child to drink a full bottle of water before lunch each day. I've been impressed by the effort that the children have made. I had to stop both Andrew and Kasi as they did laps the whole recess. Their heart muscles must be getting stronger after a collective 36 laps.
We have one more week of this quarter. I will be doing some testing next week. I will check to see if each child knows their address, phone number, and birthday. We worked on addresses as part of our theme during 1st quarter, but not all children mastered it at that time. Sometimes after the children have a better understanding of numbers, it's easier for them to memorize. Please review these items with your child at home.
For those children who have not yet mastered shoe-tying, we will be working on this skill right after Spring Break. If new shoes are being purchased, tie-shoes are a good investment. Your child will have lets of practice tying his/her shoes!
Looks like Spring is just around the corner! Looking forward to our peas sprouting soon in our newly finished planter box. Thanks to Christopher's dad for his hard work putting it in for us just in time for Spring!
Celebrations this week - Congratulations to Brent and Claudia!
