Art in the Dark!

Thank you Mrs. Nassar for putting together such a fun STEAM art lesson! We learned about bioluminescent animals and experimented with pencils, highlighters, and neon stickers! The room had to be completely dark and we used black lights to make our artwork shine! Mrs. Nassar even surprised us and gave us neon bracelets while we worked! Check out our awesome artwork below!

Read Across America

We kicked off Read Across America at Fuller Meadow last week with a visit from The Cat in the Hat and Thing 1 and Thing 2!

The students are excited to spend the month reading as much as we can and focusing specifically on Dr. Seuss books! 

Many of Dr. Seuss' books have very meaningful morals and messages and it has been fun to dig into his books and look for what we can learn from each story. 

Friday, March 2nd, was Dr. Seuss' birthday and we celebrated by partner reading some of our Dr. Seuss favorites outside in the beautiful weather!

We voted on our favorite Dr. Seuss character and the winner in our room was.....

THE LORAX!

We loved Read Across America!

Valentine's Day!

We had so much fun on Valentine's Day this year! We started by making super sweet Valentine's bags that would hold all of our goodies!

We had a special guest during reading, Mrs. Ness, that read some of the cutest Valentine's Day themed books!

During writing, we wrote Valentine's Day cards to our friends and families and then we ended the day with a classroom party!

We had many parent volunteers and enjoyed decorating cupcakes and handing out our valentines 💓

Thank you to all who came in or donated goodies to our lovely party!

Happy Valentine's Day from Ms. Teixeira's Class!

Music Class

Here is a note from Mrs. Alvarado our lovely music teacher!

During music this week, the students enjoyed learning "Six Little Ducks". To accompany this song, they learned a tricky rhythm stick routine. As you see, we had a lot of fun combining both the singing and rhythm accompaniment. This was such a popular song that each student volunteered to sing a solo!! (YAY)! Ask your child to teach you this song at home!

Keep Singing!

Kindness Rocks!

Besides learning math, reading, and writing we have been talking about what is means to be kind to one another. 

First, we read the book Strictly No Elephants. This book talks about inclusion and the children really loved reading it. They were able to make so many text-to-self connections!

We then brainstormed ways in which we could be kind. It was so great to hear all the thoughtful ideas the children came up with. They talked about being kind at school, at home, and when they are out in the community. 

We then ended the day by playing Kindness Bingo! This was so fun and the children were so kind and encouraging to the other students who won that we ended up playing multiple rounds!

 

 

Ask your children ways in which they can be kind and why it is so important to treat others the way you want to be treated!
