- Hello, dear parents and friends!
We had another wonderful week of learning, exploring, and enjoying the beautiful weather in Aurora class!
🔤 Letter Jj
This week, we learned about the letter Jj, its sound, and words that begin with J. We explored words such as jam, jet, jelly, jellyfish, and jaguar, along with other J words. The children practiced recognizing the letter and its sound through fun activities. They also enjoyed tracing the letter J using their bodies and making a J gesture. It was a fun and active way to help them remember the shape of the letter!
🌳 A Walk to the Park
The lovely weather gave us a wonderful opportunity to walk to the park. The children were excited to spend time outdoors, enjoying the slide and chasing each other as they played. It was lovely to see them having fun, being active, and enjoying time together.
On our way back to school, we passed by the bridge and looked into the water to see if we could find any fish. Although we did not see any fish that day, the children became enthusiastic communicators, sharing what they knew about animals that live in the water. Their conversations showed how their experiences and curiosity continue to connect with our animal inquiry.
🐆 Fast and Slow Animals
We also deepened our inquiry about animals by exploring the idea that animals move at different speeds. Before watching a video about fast and slow animals, we began with a fun provocation using a mystery box.
One by one, the children closed their eyes, reached into the box, and discovered an animal. They then thought about whether the animal was fast or slow and placed it into the corresponding basket. This activity encouraged them to make predictions and share their ideas.
Afterward, we watched a video about fast and slow animals. As we paused the video, the children guessed whether each animal was fast or slow. Drawing on their own experiences and prior knowledge, many children were able to make thoughtful guesses and explain their ideas. It was wonderful to see them becoming confident thinkers and communicators as they explored how animals move.
🏃♀️ Sports Festival
Our long-awaited Sports Festival finally arrived, and it was a wonderful day filled with excitement, smiles, and proud moments!
The children were excited to show their parents and families what they had been practicing. They confidently performed their class dance and participated in the races, giving their best effort in front of everyone.
The students also enjoyed cheering for their parents during the family games, as well as supporting other classes during their races and performances. Watching the older students perform inspired our children and made them think, “We can do that, too!” It was lovely to see them looking forward to growing, learning, and performing like the older children.
It was especially heartwarming to see them perform with confidence and joy in front of their families. Their hard work, courage, and enthusiasm made the day truly special.
We are so proud of you, our dear students! Thank you for sharing your wonderful performances and making our Sports Festival a memorable day! 🌟❤️
Thank you for your continued support and encouragement. We look forward to another week of learning and discovery together!
Have a lovely long holiday! 🌈
