Hello Families!
We have had a wonderful first week of school in grade 2 and 3 at LBS! I am so impressed with how quickly all students have adjusted to the routines and expectations of back to school. We have already been able to start our mornings with Montessori work period, where students are independently completing must do work and selecting responsible choice materials!
Thursday morning we spent some time outside listening to and learning from nature. We brought yoga mats outside and experienced nature through our 4 senses (tasting was not encouraged, haha). I also shared a story of how the buffalo sage (aka prairie sage) got its name and we practiced a dry smudge with some dried sage. Ask your child to share the buffalo sage story with you.
We have been learning about one another through games and writing activities. Next week, we will also use data collection to get to know each other better. We started looking at data today by creating a bar graph to vote for which Pigeon story we wanted to read.
The class is collaborating nicely and we have already started to develop a thoughtful, considerate, and engaged student culture. I am so happy to have such a wonderful group of kiddos!
Please return the "student homework" sent home on Thursday if you haven't already, it is called "Getting to Know You: Guess Who?" In addition, please return the grey envelope of student information at your earliest convenience. If your child has allergies or medical concerns please let me know via email ASAP as it sometimes takes time for the office to process information and get it back to the classroom teachers.
Wishing everyone an awesome long weekend and I will see everyone on Tuesday!
Take care,
Ms. Brown
