A Vibrant Learning Community

After a lovely holiday break, the Sea Lions were thrilled to be back together again. Our morning meditations have focused on setting intentions for our day. A few examples of the words Sea Lions chose to help guide them have been “helper”, “hard-working”, “kind”, “strong”, “funny”, and “loving”. The following photos (taken throughout the last 8 days of school) are a beautiful representation of all those words of intention. These leaders in our school are doing an amazing job demonstrating the ethic of our community!

Our academic work this week has focused on ecosystems, and specifically, the ecoregions of Oregon. Students are creating posters that tell the story of their region. We are studying the characteristics (weather, climate, geology, industry, agriculture, recreation, living and non-living things) that make our region unique. Our posters are coming together beautifully and we are quickly becoming Oregon experts. Our numeracy work has been challenging and fun as we work together to solve puzzles, stretch our multiplication skills, and find joy in math!
