FIELD TRIP TO THE EXPLORATORIUM INCOMING ! 

# data[].attributes.body
We’re excited to share that our field trip to the Exploratorium is scheduled for April 30th!

We will be departing from the Ferry Building at Jack London Square. Please note that the Bay Ferry has recently changed its boarding policy and no longer guarantees group space; boarding is now first come, first served.

To ensure our group can travel together, we ask that you drop off your child at 8:30 AM at the Ferry Building in Jack London Square. This will give us enough time to gather and line up ahead of the morning commuter rush. Out of respect for regular commuters, if you arrive late, please do not join the front of the line and instead wait with the general queue.

We also ask that adults purchase their ferry ticket in advance. If you have a Clipper card, it can be used for this trip.

Finally, please take a moment to complete this form (here) to share your availability for that day.

# data[].attributes.body
We are excited to let you know that on Wednesday, March 4th, our class will be going on a field trip to Tilden Park!

We will leave EB around 9:15. In Tilden, we will enjoy a guided nature walk from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m., where students will have the opportunity to observe and explore the natural environment.

After the walk, we will have a picnic lunch in the park before heading back to school. We plan to return around 1:00 p.m.

For this trip we will need drivers and chaperones. If you are available to drive students, you need to follow the EB requirements (insurance +  fingerprint).

Please be on the lookout for a spreadsheet to be shared by Cecilia and Lauren for you to confirm your child’s transportation. If you are available to chaperone, please let Cecilia and Lauren know how many students you can accommodate at your earliest convenience

Please reach out to Cecilia and Lauren, our room parents, who will help coordinate.

SHORT E SONG 🎶 Phonics Song | Vowel Letter E | How To Pronounce

# data[].attributes.body
This week we worked on the letter E! Students practiced listening for and reading CVC words with the short /e/ sound in the middle, such as bed, web, and set. To make our learning extra fun, we created capital E’s “cracking out of eggs” in our English notebooks. It was a great hands-on way to help the letter E come to life while building early reading skills!

This week we read the delightful book If I Owned a Candy Factory, which sparked lots of excitement and imagination in our classroom! After enjoying the story, students brainstormed what their own dream factory would look like if they could design one. They imagined all kinds of creative details!

We focused on the letter A! We practiced finding the letter A in words and listened closely to the short /a/ sound. Students worked hard on reading and building CVC (consonant–vowel–consonant) words with A in the middle, such as pat, mad, sat, and rat. We also practiced how to write the capital letter A using the sky–grass–dirt method to help students visualize proper letter formation. To celebrate our learning, we created adorable alligator crafts!

This week in class, we read The Thankful Book by Todd Parr! It's a cheerful, colorful story that celebrates all the big and little things we can be thankful for. As we read, we discussed the different things Todd Parr mentions (like hugs, friends, and ice cream), and students shared what they feel grateful for in their own lives.

With Thanksgiving approaching, we’re now building on that conversation: students are starting to name and talk about what makes them feel thankful. This helps them reflect on their own experiences and express gratitude in meaningful ways.

This week, we have been learning all about the letter D! Students have been practicing:

Recognizing D in words and identifying other words that contain D.

Saying the /d/ sound and listening for it in spoken words.

Reading simple three-letter CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant) with D, such as dog and dad, by segmenting each letter sound.

Handwriting Focus:
This week, students began learning how to write using the Sky, Grass, and Dirt strategy! We talked about how capital letters start at the very top — in the sky — and how each letter has its own special place to begin and end. This visual strategy helps students understand where to start and stop their letters, building confidence and consistency in their handwriting.

# data[].attributes.body
This week, we dove into the wonderful world of the letter B! We practiced how to write it, spot it in words and stories, and listen for its special sound. We enjoyed reading books that featured the letter B and played fun exploration games to help us learn even more. To wrap up our week, we created a beautiful Bear craft that showed off our creativity and growing skills!
