“In Mulit-Age Math, I made a book about other things you can
make with black dots. I made one flower, two people, three coffee cups, and four wheels. It
was fun and I hope I get to do it again!” said Jasper.
To date, 13 Sea Class students have made their summer
activity presentations, and they are adorable! It is so fun to watch how each
family has found its own way in taking the children’s memories and the
experiences they value, and preparing a presentation that is crafted,
rehearsed, and even sometimes, interactive! This week, we look forward to
presentations from LP, JD, SH, and MB. If your child hasn’t presented yet,
please send me a date as soon as you can so our schedule doesn’t fill up with
other fun things!
Hasta la fecha,
13 estudiantes de la Clase Mar han hecho sus presentaciones de actividades de
verano, y son adorables! Es tan divertido ver cómo cada familia ha encontrado
su propio camino en la toma de recuerdos de los niños y las experiencias que
valoran, y la preparación de una presentación que se hace a mano, ensayado, e
incluso a veces, interactivo! Esta semana, esperamos presentaciones de LP, JD,
SH, y MB. Si su hijo aún no ha presentado, por favor envíeme una fecha tan
pronto como pueda para nuestro programa no se llena con otras cosas divertidas!
Speaking of other fun things, we begin Family In Class
Participation, our thematic study of Immigration, Communication Workshop AND
Math Workshop this week! We are looking forward to welcoming more adults into
the classroom, demonstrating how we’ve been practicing building and nurturing a
community, while taking academic and social risks in a classroom with growing
trust and acceptance.
Hablando de otras
cosas divertidas, comenzamos Familia En Participación Clase, nuestro estudio
temático de Inmigración, Taller de Comunicación y Matemáticas Taller de esta
semana! Estamos deseando darle la bienvenida a más adultos en el aula, lo que
demuestra la forma en que hemos estado practicando la construcción y
consolidación de una comunidad, mientras que la toma de riesgos académicos y
sociales en un aula con creciente confianza y aceptación.
We had a really terrific first all-school field trip to Dela
Veaga Park on Friday; I was so busy telling and listening to stories, sketching
the creek, and climbing on the play structure, that I didn’t take any photos!
So here’s a picture of the Sea Class at its first day of Library with Jolene,
and lesson plans for the upcoming week. Enjoy reading!
Tuvimos una muy
excelente excursión primero de toda la escuela a Dela Veaga Parque el viernes;
Estaba tan ocupado contar y escuchar historias, dibujar el arroyo, y subir en
la estructura de juego, que no tomé fotos! Así que aquí está una foto de la
Clase del Mar en su primer día de Biblioteca con Jolene, y planes de lecciones
para la próxima semana. ¡Disfruta leyendo!
