Hello there! It feels like it's been such a long time! Welcome to our monthly newsletter! We decided to combine the months of March and April into one, so this newsletter might be a bit longer than usual!
As March marks the beginning of the school year, we fortunately were able to welcome two new friends to SEM. We hope with the seemingly near end to the pandemic, we can welcome more students.
In March we were able to learn about the rules and we introduced the calendar, In April we learned about the human body. Love Class learned about both the inside and outside of the body. Dream Class learned mostly about the outside of the body, but we spent a bit of time learning about the inside of the body with Love Class. It's a bit hard to see from the pictures, but it was still a fun project!
To correlate with the spring feeling, we had Planting Day! We hope that our students continue to feel excitement at seeing their plants grow. This day in particular was so messy with dirt getting everywhere!
As usual, we're still doing Musical English, reading, science, and cooking class weekly at SEM. We want to take a more team-oriented and sometimes an individualistic, hands-on approach to science, so we hope to see an increase in student engagement and understanding.
Here, we were building a Ferris wheel using basic geometry. It was a lot harder than we thought it would be, so we were only able to build the Ferris wheels. Later on, we made a platform (not pictured).
Last but not least, we had our first field trip in a long time. We went to a local park and we saw a few animals.
Well, that's all for the months of March and April! Let's hope with the seemingly near end to this pandemic, we can make more memories together! Please look forward to next month's blogpost. As always thank you for reading!
