Activities That Show Connection/Relevance To Student Learning

Field Day:

Every Wednesday the lower grade classes gather on the big field to do P.E., which is facilitated by our school Principal Mrs. Charlotte Camacho. We usually start off by doing a little stretching and warm ups before moving into designated activity stations. Every station has different activities, where students alternate on each station every 15 minutes. This is a type of activity is highly encouraged for students partake, because is promotes healthy lifestyles and physical wellness.

Beach Walk:

Every Friday we do a beach walk, which is done as a part of our P.E. activity. Students tend to go on a nature walk, which helps them appreciate the beautiful scenery that our beach has to offer. This activity reinforces their learning in terms of their communities and an awareness of their environment.

Science Fair:

Our students had the opportunity to conduct some Science Experiments in the classroom. They had a blast and some amazing results from their experiments conducted in the classroom. We had a so much fun from this learning experience.

Culture:

Learning about cultures within our classroom is an important aspect of a young child’s learning growth. It helps them connect or relate what they learn about themselves with the global society.

Book Fair:

During our Book Fair Week, students made a lot of wonderful and amazing books. They had created two types of books, which was based on a non-fiction story. One of the books that were created had illustrated it based on a specific author style (Eric Carle), while the other was a simple, ordinary book, which had a section about themselves being the author of the book. With this, students had to demonstrate their creativity with materials being provided by the teacher. With our guidance, our books turned out really great, and it as placed in the cafeteria for display during the week of book fair.

Spelling Bee:

Within our class, we have selected three of our students to participate in the Spelling Bee competition that was held at the school cafeteria. Our student went up against other students from the lower grade level, which turned out to be a great learning experience for these students. They did an excellent job during this competition, although we did not win first place, but second is not bad at all. Great Job Guys!
