Ms. Lugo’s Pre-K4 class has started their 🌱 Seed Study and the students are loving it! During free choice, they’ve been getting creative by using sunflower seeds to make flower art while strengthening their fine motor skills. They’re also using their imagination in dramatic play and exploring outside to learn more about seeds and how plants grow. 🌻
Mrs. Cortinas’ Pre-K class wrapped up their Grocery Store Unit in a fun and meaningful way! 🛒🍎 Students took their learning home with a special activity, practicing what they learned about shopping, food choices, and everyday math with their families. Great job to our little learners for bringing the classroom experience into the real world! 👏

Students in Mrs. Cortina’s Pre-k class listened to the story Burbujas Divertidas during our read aloud. Students retold the story using beginning, middle and end to tell important details about the story. Part of our extension activity during small group, students were blowing bubbles while making the first letter in their name.
Today in Ms. Molina’s kindergarten class, students explored the different parts of a plant. They stepped outside to observe real plants up close, identifying the stem, leaves, flowers, roots, and seeds. Using what they discovered, students created detailed drawings and carefully labeled each part with accuracy and pride. 🌱
Hoy, en la clase de kínder de la Ms. Molina, los estudiantes exploraron las diferentes partes de una planta. Salieron al exterior para observar plantas reales de cerca e identificar el tallo, las hojas, las flores, las raíces y las semillas. Con base en lo que descubrieron, los estudiantes realizaron dibujos detallados y etiquetaron cuidadosamente cada parte con precisión y orgullo. 🌱
Students in Mrs.Gonzalez’s second grade class learned about area by using square tiles to find the area of a rectangle. They carefully covered each rectangle with tiles, making sure there were no gaps or overlaps. Then, they counted the total number of square tiles to determine the area in square units. This hands-on activity helps students understand that area is the amount of space inside a shape. Using square tiles allows them to see and physically count the square units.
Los estudiantes de la clase de segundo grado de Mrs.González aprendieron sobre área usando fichas cuadradas para calcular el área de un rectángulo. Cubrieron cuidadosamente cada rectángulo con fichas, asegurándose de que no quedaran huecos ni superposiciones. Luego, contaron el número total de fichas cuadradas para determinar el área en unidades cuadradas. Esta actividad ayuda a los alumnos a comprender que el área es la cantidad de espacio dentro de una figura. Usar fichas cuadradas les permite ver y contar físicamente las unidades cuadradas.
