Animal Habitats- Aurora (July 13-17)

Hello, dear Parents and Friends!

The temperature has been rising, and the summer heat is definitely here! To help everyone stay cool, our students had a wonderful time enjoying water play. They happily splashed in the water, cooled their bodies, and spent the day feeling refreshed and comfortable. Their cheerful laughter and smiling faces showed just how much fun they were having!

Our young learners have also been enjoying our Unit of Inquiry about animals. They loved playing with the stuffed animal toys and used their wonderful imaginations to engage in pretend play. Many children took on the role of veterinarians, while others became caring pet owners, treating their “sick” animals with kindness and compassion. Through this meaningful play, they developed their communication, creativity, and empathy while learning how to care for animals.


The children also had a great time painting different animal habitats and sorting the animals according to where they live. They confidently shared their ideas and explained why certain animals belong in specific habitats. It was wonderful to see how much knowledge they have gained through their own experiences, observations, and classroom learning. Their curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring the animal world continue to grow each day, making our inquiry both meaningful and enjoyable.

We are so proud of our students for their eagerness to learn, their creativity, and the joy they bring to our classroom every day. We look forward to many more exciting learning adventures together!

Number Recognition

We continue to take our time building a strong foundation in number recognition before introducing bigger numbers. This week, our focus was on numbers 5 and 6. Through a variety of fun, hands-on activities and games, the children practiced recognizing, counting, matching, and identifying these numbers in different ways.

It has been wonderful to see how enthusiastic and eager our students are to learn. They confidently participated in each activity, challenged themselves, and celebrated their successes along the way. We are so proud of the progress they are making and the confidence they are developing in recognizing numbers.

Birthday Celebration

This week, we had the joy of celebrating the birthdays of two of our wonderful students! It is truly heartwarming to watch them grow and blossom each day, not only in their learning but also in their confidence, friendships, and independence.

We hope they had a very special and memorable birthday surrounded by their classmates and teachers. We wish them good health, happiness, and many exciting adventures as they continue to learn, play, and discover new things every day. Happy Birthday!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership in your child’s learning journey. We hope you enjoy the photos and stories from this week’s adventures.
