This week in Pathways
Dear Families,
Thank you for joining us in celebrating your child's growth throughout the first trimester. It is truly an honor to build this partnership with you as we guide your children. We have accomplished so much, and we are excited to explore the next steps in their journey!
We are launching Unit 3: Celebrating We Take Care of the Earth! In this unit, we will engage in several Environmental Stewardship activities, with many provocations to inspire learning. We will also be using a lot of recycled materials, so any donations of materials would be greatly appreciated!
Our trip to Granada was an amazing cultural experience. Be sure to ask your child about their favorite part of the day!
Once again, we need everyone’s help in locating a few missing items. We are currently missing two ANS jackets (size 4) with “Santiago” written on the tag. Please contact us if you have any information on their whereabouts!
Best regards,
The Pathways Team

Mathematics
Learning Goal
What patterns can I create with recycled materials?
What mathematicians are doing at school...
Patterns are everywhere! Students will be exploring the materials around them to identify and create patterns.
What readers & writers could be doing at home...
At home, observe your surroundings with your child and try to find different patterns, whether it’s in how you set the table or how you line up the toys.
Science or Social Studies
Learning Goal
Let's make a bow & arrow!
What tigers are doing at school...
This emotional wellness exercise helps us stretch our bodies and release tightness in our chest. Students stand with their feet shoulder-width apart, reach up and back to draw their arrow while holding an imaginary bow. They pick a target and send kind thoughts. Then, we repeat the exercise on the other side.
What tigers could be doing at home...
You can practice this emotional wellness exercise together at home!
Send your kind thoughts out into the world — whether it's something kind for a family member, friend, or even for themselves.
Encourage your child to focus on how their body feels after stretching and send out positive, loving energy to themselves and others. This is a great way to practice mindfulness, emotional awareness, and stretching together.
Social Emotional Learning Program
Learning Goal
Friends will practice to be patient.
What friends and learners are doing at school...
During our community time, we’ll review the important goal of being patient. Kids will practice being patient through games where they have to take turns.
What friends and learners could be practicing at home...
At home, you can play a game to take turns like building a lego tower. Foster collaboration and patience as they wait to add their piece!

OUR PILLARS
Sunshine
Children at this young age thrive in a joyful, fun-filled environment where their days are filled with laughter, song, and love.
Barefoot
Children connect best with real and authentic learning experiences that are grounded in nature, family, and community.
Outdoor Mapping
Children at this young age are fascinated with nature and how the world works, so we want them to explore, discover, question, and research their world.
