The kids also practiced writing their numbers and letters, working with teen numbers, and creating and analyzing graphs. We have also been working on the concepts of one more and one less, and telling math stories. I have been thrilled to hear many of the kids use more Spanish in casual ways!
The school counselor, Rachel Nelson, taught a lesson about being inclusive and kind to others. The kids watched an excerpt from Sesame Street to see what it feels and sounds like to exclude others. It was a good reminder at this point in the year, as everyone has friendships that are established by now and still need to be kind to everyone. We used the Ozobots (tiny robots) again this week in the Makerspace, and the kids were so creative, thoughtful, and thrilled to explore robotics.
As we end the first semester of school (can you believe it?!), I'd like to thank you for sharing your amazing children with me. The kids continue to impress me with their casual use of Spanish and their growth, to warm my heart with their curiosity and kindness, and to inspire me with their enthusiasm and their love for learning. I am so proud to watch them work hard, and to try their best. That is a message I would like for you to echo at home. My goal for all of my kids is that they try their hardest and that they grow, embracing mistakes as tools to learn, not as road blocks. As long as they are trying their best, they are making me proud. Each of your children are a gift to me. I have enjoyed this year immensely, and I am so looking forward to all of the time we still have together.
