This month, we will be exploring the incredible world of Trees in North America - some of the tallest living organisms on the planet, with numerous fascinating features and functions. We will delve into the different parts of a tree and how they enable it to survive and grow. Additionally, we will compare the various shapes and silhouettes of trees, which adapt to different environments.


Furthermore, we will discover how trees provide habitats for various species and how they are a valuable resource for both humans and other animals.

Focus of the month:

Introduction to Mobility/Stretching: Incorporating mobility and stretching in our elementary Physical Education class is all about promoting flexibility, preventing injuries, and fostering overall physical well-being. Students learn a variety of stretches and movements that enhance their joint mobility and muscle flexibility. These activities not only reduce the risk of strains and injuries but also encourage a sense of relaxation and mindfulness as children become attuned to their bodies. These fundamental skills lay the groundwork for a lifelong commitment to maintaining a healthy and limber body, promoting physical health and injury prevention.


Week 1 - 2: Basic mobility moves focused on the main joints.

Week 3 - 4: Mini flow routines.

Focus of the Month:

Continue with building the vocabulary from the workbook (French: AIM and Spanish: Colega).


Review the numbers up to 15 (younger group), 0 to 20 and counting by 10 up to 50 (older group)


Continue to review winter terms and winter sports.
