Hello Families,
Artist in Residence
We had our final session with Ms. Sharon on Wednesday for Artist in Residence. Students worked on creating small images of the life cycle of a Robin to signify spring. These will be cut out and collaged together for our final picture of patterns in nature connected to animal life cycle. We will share a picture of the final product when it is completed!
The Marker Mystery
We continued our learning in connection to the markers being recycled at LBS. Students categorized by benchmark numbers, using that data they created bar graphs and line graphs to represent the sets of data.

Outdoor Learning
We love this beautiful weather so we have returned to our weekly outdoor learning time. We practiced the Montessori pillar of mentorship by having students in room 3 teach students in room 2 the outdoor learning task this week. Students were asked to find a sit spot, they took time to be in nature to find and document nouns and connected verbs.
Gymnastics
We wrapped up our gymnastics unit this week, the last three days of the unit were Mission Impossible. Students worked through each station working around all the obstacles using controlled and calculated movements and had a lot of fun!
Poetry
We reintroduced poetry this week and will continue to work within the unit in the coming weeks. Students have been highly engaged in lessons where we took time to read and listen to a free verse poem, complete step by step reflections, and develop comprehension skills for more abstract concepts.
