Here is a look at what your little ones have been up to and what we have planned for the week ahead!<\/span><\/p><h3>Kicking Off Our &#8220;Reduce, Reuse, Recycle&#8221; Study<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our new unit got off to an incredibly successful start! We are currently diving into the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce, Reuse, Recycle<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> unit from the Creative Curriculum. This week, we focused on our very first investigation question: <\/span><b>&#8220;What is trash?&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The children have been deeply engaged in learning how to identify waste. We spent time investigating the items we throw away every day, sorting objects, and discussing the important difference between what goes in the garbage can and what can go in the recycling bin. They are already becoming so observant about the materials we use and discard in our classroom!<\/span><\/p><h3>Flashlight Reading in the Library<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to our new study, we also had an absolute blast celebrating\u00a0<\/span><b>Read Across America, thanks to Ms. Pepper!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The highlight of the week was our special Library time, where we turned off the overhead lights and read books using flashlights. It added such a fun, magical element to storytime, and the students were so excited to share and read their favorite books in the dark.<\/span><\/p><h3>A Sneak Peek at Next Week<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next week, we will continue our Creative Curriculum study by moving on to our next big investigation: <\/span><b>&#8220;Where does our trash go?&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> We will expand our understanding of the community by learning about the journey of our garbage. The children will explore the roles of sanitation workers and garbage trucks, and we will discover what happens at landfills and recycling centers once our trash leaves the curb.<\/span><\/p><h3>Creating Recycled Masterpieces<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are getting ready for an exciting and eco-friendly classroom activity, and we need your help to make it a success!<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please remember to send in bottle caps, plastic containers, etc., and\/or other materials we can utilize to create an art project. This could be an artistic piece (a wall art piece made from bottle caps, a statue, etc.) or a functional item (a cup made from recycled paper, etc.).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will display these items in the school. Families are welcome to view our masterpieces on that <\/span><b>Friday, 3\/20, between 2:00 and 2:30 PM<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the display cabinet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thank you so much for your continued support and for helping us turn &#8220;trash&#8221; into treasure!<\/span><\/p><h3>Spring Sneaker Dance &amp; Silent Auction<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only 1 more week until the dance! <\/span><b>EVERYONE<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> attending is required to purchase a ticket, even parents.
