In Literacy, students had a blast writing their own fictional stories. They took what they know about story elements —characters, settings, problems, and solutions—and then brought their imaginative tales to life creatively by using a shadow puppet theater! By combining our Science unit on Light with our storytelling skills, we created mini shadow shows that were pretty magical. Students explored how light and shadows work and created scenes that matched their stories. It was a beautiful blend of science and storytelling!
Meanwhile in Math, both our Kindergarten and First Grade learners kicked off new mini-units on 3-D shapes. To spark excitement, we combined our classes and went on a 3-D Shape Hunt outdoors. The students were amazed to discover that spheres, cubes, cones, and cylinders are all around us—in our classroom & the playground! It was a fun and interactive way to build foundational geometry skills while fostering a sense of wonder about the world. We will continue to explore these shapes this week.
**Our field trip is coming soon! On Thursday, June 12th we will be heading to Shelburne Farms. If your child will need a bag lunch for that day, please respond this week so that I can inform our kitchen staff. **
