Welcome to Verde and a new school year! We were so happy to be back at school after the summer break and see our returning friends and welcome newcomers. We spent the first few weeks of school getting to know each other, the environment and the school routine.

September was quite eventful and brought us a few things to celebrate. We joined people around the world in recognizing the UNESCO Literacy Day by talking about different types of books and by looking at books, reading them and even singing books! We discovered their parts and talked about people who make books. We also celebrated International Day of Peace by talking about what peace means to us and practicing being peaceful in the classroom. We have also met our specialists and started gardening, farming, music and Spanish.

In November we are going to talk about fruit, its parts and functions, and will look at apples and pumpkins and their life cycles in particular. We will also talk about spiders closer to the end of the month.
