We are discussing all the wonderful freedoms we have in our Great Country and the most important one of all we discovered is the Freedom to worship GOD, READ OUR BIBLE, AND GO TO CHURCH!!

Students in First and Second Grade have been working on their physical fitness test. Now that all that hard work is over, we can now have some fun! We are now learning the fundamentals of dribbling the ball for basketball!

Students have been making macaroni and cheese art paintings this week. They are quite colorful and very unusual. They are enjoying experimenting with color and paint.
To end the year, we went on a trip to Green Meadows Farm in Bayside. We had a blast! Not only did we get to learn about different cultures, but we also got to see different animals. The highlight of the trip was chasing after the chickens. What a day!
Math became more fun playing with the many manipulatives. It was astonishing to see the student’s excitement when they got to see and feel and touch toy bugs to do addition and subtraction. They had so much fun doing “Bugs in the Garden” and making their won Math problems.
As the Phonics and Spelling became more challenging, First Grade was still excited about reading. This led us to visit the Town Hall to see a play about Junnie B. Jones. Students really enjoyed reading about her and actually looking at a live performance. They were so captivated by the actors in the play that they “re-enacted” the play on the way back to school. What fun we had!
Our study of Science led us to “Wonderful Rocks.” As we observed how different they were, we were able to relate them to us, and how God made each on of us different and special. The students really enjoyed our science experiments. When the baking soda was added to the vinegar in the test tube…1B exploded and shouted and screamed!
In Social Studies, we learned about how privileged we are in the United States and even in our classroom to be blessed with the freedom to worship, to voice our opinions, to work and to make choices. Some of our little ones even shared that their parents left Brazil to come to America to find better jobs to make more money!
