Important Classroom Changes:
Curriculum update – We are at a point in our curriculum where journaling is encouraged. “Journaling” has many advantages in the classroom; learning that print can be read and has meaning, turning pages from front to back, one at a time, following print from top to bottom and left to right on a page, communicating thoughts with words, share drawings and writing with others, proper crayon grip, demonstrating positive self esteem, and much more. We are asking for every student to bring in a blank, spiral-bound sketch pad by our first assignment: Thursday, February 4th.
Schedule changes – We are taking the opportunity to mentor some of the younger teachers here at UCD so, as a result, Ms. Joyce’s schedule will be temporarily changing. She will remain in the classroom from 7:15 AM-5:15 PM Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Ms. Apoiliu (known to our students as Ms. Apple) will be with us Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:30-5:30 PM, and Ms. Justine Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00 AM-5:30 PM.
