Hi everyone! Welcome to our second blog of the month. As the blog title says, our main focus this week was practicing for the Christmas show. During reflection time, the students shared that their goal and purpose for practicing hard was to make their loved ones proud. We had a “mini Christmas show” in the middle of the week, where all the classes gathered together and watched their peers perform their plays. Milky Way was amazed by how hard the other classes had been working to prepare for the big day. This gave them a little extra motivation to do their best in the last practice sessions they have left.

This week, we reviewed the “sh” blend that was introduced several weeks ago. There are many words that contain this blend, so mastering how to read them will help make future reading lessons more meaningful and enjoyable.

This week’s gym lesson was the last one for 2025. Classes will resume next year. Until now, the gym teacher has been teaching the students how to do somersaults on the gym mats. In the next lesson, they will begin learning how to jump rope.

A few weeks ago, the students started sharing more about the less common Learner Profiles. They used to choose caring and principled most often, but their sharing has become more diverse. It’s great to witness them grow in their understanding of the Learner Profiles.

The Inquirer showed great curiosity when he asked how high airplanes fly in the sky. The Reflective student was able to look back on her past actions and improve. The Communicators were able to share their ideas with others. The Principled learner did the right thing when she was faced with a dilemma that made her pause and think about right and wrong. The Balanced student took care of herself physically and emotionally by eating well, moving her body, and getting enough rest.

For show and tell , we enjoyed listening to a presentation about a craft made with recyclable materials.

~The week ahead~

The influenza outbreak over the past few weeks disrupted our schedule a bit, so some students are still working on their dioramas. We plan to hear their presentations as soon as they finish. It goes without saying that every last ounce of our energy will be directed toward preparing for the much-awaited Christmas show. As the graduating class of the school, we are committed to making our parents proud as they watch us perform our very last Christmas play as kindergarteners!

Thank you for reading our blog. Have a pleasant and restful weekend!
