This week in school


This week we practiced numbers 1-29 (twenty nine). Some of the children can count this high. We also did a review of zoo animals: lion, tiger, penguin, zebra, bear, giraffe, elephant, and rhino. We also reviewed feelings from last year: happy, sad, angry, surprised, hungry, thirsty, excited, scared, and sleepy. We practiced “how are you today?” “I am…”.
 
For our PYP unit on water, we are learning about the significance of water for living creatures. We are working on small group projects where the children learn about different animals that live in different bodies of water across the world. The children are very good with animal names and are very interested in the unit which is great.
