Greetings!  

This week was a special one because our little ones went to the Gojo campus for our guest speaker. Meet Mr. Frith and his dog named Wynn. He’s an almost 3-year-old dog who sleeps 12 to 14 hours a day, does 30 minutes to 2 hours of exercise a day, and is trained to follow instructions and perform different tricks. Wynn is a very nice and calm dog, so our youngsters had a chance to touch him and shave his body hair. Our young ones had so much fun and are looking forward to seeing Wynn again!  

TRIVIA: Scientists report that a dog’s sense of smell is 10,000 to 100,000 times more acute than a human’s. (Written by Dr. Elizabeth Racine)

For this week’s UOI lesson, we reviewed the entire Unit 2 and identified different land animals through a video. We also introduced a new learner profile, “thinkers,” which means we solve problems. Additionally, here is the last batch of our presenters. They shared their pets and the animals they saw at the aquarium. Well done, Canyon!

As part of our UOI, our youngsters made some animal crafts. They chose between an octopus and a lion. Before that, they listened to a story and learned the difference between a baby lion and a daddy lion. They said we can identify a daddy lion by the hair around its face. This craft aims to develop students’ fine motor skills through cutting and drawing. Here’s a glimpse of their craft.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!
