Happy New Year. We all look forward to engaging your children in enriching and exciting lessons in English, Math, Science, World Studies, Mindfulness, Nature, Music and Art throughout the year.
March 2023 Today, we are celebrating "Read Across America Day", with special QO guest readers:) This month we also focused on several STEM activities, such as creating Slime; mixing colors and predicting the results; predicting buoyancy;and creating leprechaun projects; locating and identifying animal tracks. Lastly, we focused on "pepper and soap science" - a lab illustrating the importance of germs and washing your hands.
We also focused on English Language Arts (ELA) - reading time indoors and outdoors; discussing characters and predicting story themes and plots; in addition to practicing our alphabet and fine motor skills. We are also enhancing our addition, subtraction and beginning multiplication skills. Mindful activities include mindful breathing and yoga:)
