Focus of the Month:

The focus of this month is on Climate Change, Earth Day and Weather. We will learn about why the Earth's climate is getting warmer and study the greenhouse effect as well as the role carbon plays in these processes.


We will read about how climate change affects the oceans and how scientists are studying climate change.


We will talk about what Earth day is, when it started, why we celebrate it and things we can do and how we can help the environment. With the older students, we will learn about the importance of sustainability renewable sources of energy.

Focus of the month:

Throwing and Catching: Introducing throwing and catching in our elementary Physical Education class is about developing fundamental hand-eye coordination and motor skills. Students learn proper techniques for throwing and catching objects, which enhances their fine and gross motor abilities. These activities promote teamwork, concentration, and spatial awareness as students engage in group games and improve their accuracy and precision.


By mastering these skills, children gain a foundation for participation in various sports and activities, fostering not only physical competence but also valuable social and cognitive skills that extend beyond the sports field.
