Hello parents and welcome to our blog…Thank you for visiting!

On March 3rd, we had Chinese acrobats come to visit our school and put on an amazing show for the children.

On Friday, March 7th we had Parent/Teacher Conferences.  It was so great getting together with all our wonderful families and discussing all about our incredible students and their amazing progress.  Thank you for taking the time to allow us to share with you our thoughts.

We’ve started our studies on Asia and have learned about several different countries that make up Asia (China, Russia, India).  We discussed their culture, food, famous landmarks, language and clothing.  We learned about the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, and the Kremlin.

Ms. Maryam conducted a science experiment with the children using lentil beans.  She soaked them in water for a few days and the children observed the lentils over 3-4 days and watched them grow tiny leaves.

Our Kindergarteners started having “Fun Fridays” which involve cool art/science projects that relate to our themes for the month.  This past Friday, the children made Chinese hats with Chinese writings and pictures, and also made the Chinese flag.

Upcoming Events:

On March 21st – Kindergarten Assembly @ 8:30am

On Thursday & Friday, March 27th – 28th: No School – Teacher-in-Service Day

On Wednesday, April 9th – Primary Field Trip to Gilcrease Nature Sanctuary.  We will be departing FMS @ 8:40am and returning @ 11:00am.  Please look for more information regarding chaperone sign-up and field trip information posted soon.

Hello and welcome to our blog.

We had our Parent/Child Night, where the children were eager to share all their great work they have accomplished during the school year. It was a fantastic experience to see how their children are involved with materials everyday. Thank you for coming, we are very grateful and appreciative for the time we spent together.

Dr. Seuss’ Birthday was a lot of fun. Children dressed up as their favorite characters. They also shared their favorite Dr. Seuss book with their classmates. We wanted to thank Mrs. Takashima for the fun snack of Green Eggs and Ham. It was very “YUMMY” and the children really enjoyed them.

This month we will explore the continent of Asia. It is the world’s largest and most popular continent with over 4 billion people.

-Some fun facts about Asia are:

The highest point on earth is Mt. Everest.

The lowest point on land is the Dead Sea.

Asia is the only continent that shares a boarder with two other continents- Africa and Europe.

-We will also study Dinosaurs this month:

Dinosaurs came before humans. The word means “Terrible Lizard”

We will learn a lot of fun facts about dinosaurs. The children will pretend they are paleontologists and dig in the sand to find fossils.
