Loving Every Day

Enjoying Special Activities

The students are getting used to the different class routines and being at school every day. They seem to enjoy classroom activities as well as special classes. Last week, we had Art class with Mrs. Mendoza and they had a great time decorating their names. They did a beautiful job! We will be having Art class once a month. We have P.E twice a week with Mr. Bautista and this is always a highlight on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Chapel is on Thursdays, and last week we got quite a few complements for behaving well! The students sang throughout the whole day the songs that we had learned that morning. Mrs. Afanador was the speaker and she encouraged us to be ambassadors for Christ wherever we are.
Every day in the classroom we have time for centers. We have a home, building, writing, reading and a math center. Mrs. Velasco or Miss Olivera assign about four students per center. This is a great time for the students to get to know each other.
Our afternoons continue to be quite restful considering we have a pretty full morning! About half of the students take naps. The rest just lay quietly for about 30 minutes. After waking up, the students brush their teeth and then go to a center for remaining time. This is what our days are looking like here at school. I know that you enjoy knowing what your children are up to :)! They are doing great!

"Miss Olivera we are not playing in the bathroom, just brushing our teeth..."

Thank you very much for your support at home.Have a blessed week!
