Our Trees Study

Dear Families,

For the month of October and throughout the Fall we will focus on a study of Trees.  We will discuss why they are important to our lives, the environment and how they change throughout the seasons.  I am very excited to talk to the children about being outside in nature among various kinds of trees each day and how they provide oxygen, food and shelter for animals.  Our young students at Hiemelski can experience nature each day when we go outside and the trees in our playgrounds are unique and fun to explore.  This lesson will be very hands-on for sure!  One of the favorite things our students do is pick up pinecones and various leaves.  During fall, the leaves change colors, making way for fun explorations each time we go outside.  Our activities will be science, literacy and math related as we chart our favorite tree by writing our name, sort various colors of leaves and create bird feeders to hang up.  It should be a wonderful study and I look forward to being outdoors with the students during this beautiful time of year. 

As school begins to settle in, our students will begin to grow and learn more each day.   We are excited to be partners with you. You are your child's  first teacher and your support means a great deal to us.  Thanks for supporting us in making every day great by providing all the necessary items your child needs for school each day.    We ask that you continue to check your child's school folder for exciting events and important papers that need to be sent home or papers you need to send in to the teacher each day.  Please also put in any notes that you want us to know about any issues your child may be having.  We are a team, and teachers are here to support you.

We look forward to a great school year and cannot wait to see you in our classrooms!

 Yours Truly,

Mrs. Stephanie Samila & Ms. Yirenni Hernandez
