Dear Families:
Thank you to everyone who has brought in supply donations!! We appreciate it very much! This past week we began our study of the Three Little Pigs. We read a couple of the books and began to talk about what makes a strong house. We also attended The African American History Assembly. The children loved to hear the music and poems and watching the dancing. Last Friday, I went to kids yoga training. Already I have incorporated many of the mindfulness activities I learned. Today, instead of reading the Three Little Pigs we used yoga poses to hear the story and see it take shape. Additionally, we have focused on using our breath to calm our bodies and being more aware of our breath. I am really looking forward to adding more yoga into our day. OUTSIDE TIME: The weather has been a roller coaster of cold and warm! We will go outdoors as much as possible please remember to dress your children accordingly. I have included an excerpt from the Chicago Public Schools weather guidelines. Hopefully this will assist you in knowing which days we will be going outdoors. Cold Weather Guidelines Cold air does not make us sick. Germs make us sick. Make sure students are getting outside for recess/ gross motor time at your school! Outdoor recess time allows children to get fresh air, provides an opportunity for children to engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity, and gives students more activity options than most indoor spaces. Please see the following CPS cold weather guidelines for outdoor recess. Cold Weather Guidelines: » Above 32 degrees F with or without wind chill: Recess should be held outdoors. » Between 31 degrees F and 15 degrees F with or without wind chill: Principal discretion. » Below 15 degrees F with or without wind chill: Recess should be held indoors. Upcoming Events: Friday, March 15th– Field trip to the Chicago Children’s Museum
