 Hola hola Mariposas!

This morning we met for our morning meeting. We got our new jobs for the week! In Health we talked about why it is important to recognize our differences and why they make us special. In gym, we practiced throwing and catching balls with plastic scoops. After gym, we learned a new letter - the letter Z!

After lunch we went swimming! Tomorrow is the last day of swimming. After swimming we came back to school and went to music then we came back to class and learned how to print the upper and lower case z. We practiced in our cuaderos amarillos and now we are writing this blog.

We had an incredible day!

Adios

Halloween

With Halloween coming up, students are invited to wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31.  The costumes must be worn the whole day and must be appropriate for school environment meaning no violent or inappropriate content or messaging. Accessories such as swords, guns, knives, weapons etc. should not be brought to school.  As costumes should not impede learning, we ask that no mask even if it’s a half face mask be worn to school.  Those wanting to wear COVID masks are welcome to. Due to dietary restrictions and preferences, no food should be brought to school for sharing purposes.  While well intended, other non-food treats should also be not brought to school (goodie/loot bags).

Raz Kids is coming soon. We are setting up student accounts and passwords. Stay tuned for more information!
