This week in Pathways
Dear Famlies,
This week, the children had a great time exploring color combinations through fun tie-dye activities, while also challenging their brains with engaging math exercises. They’ve been learning in such creative and exciting ways!
Students continued exploring phonological awareness through jokes and reviewed alliterations with "T" sounds. Be sure to ask them to share some of their favorites with you!
As we move into next week, we'll be finishing up Unit 2, and we’re excited to celebrate all the progress our Pathways kids have made.
A reminder of some important dates coming up:
- November 11th - Conferences begin. We hope to see you there! Sign-up for PA, PB, PC
- November 13th - Conferences. No school for students.
Warm Regards,
Pathways Team

Spanish Literacy
Learning Goal
Trabalenguas

Los niños explorarán el sonido inicial P a través de actividades divertidas, identificando palabras y objetos que comienzan con esta letra para fortalecer su vocabulario y conciencia fonética.
What readers & writers could be doing at home...
En casa, los niños pueden buscar y nombrar objetos que empiecen con el sonido P, como 'pelota' o 'papá'. Esto refuerza el aprendizaje de una manera divertida y cotidiana.
Mathematics
Learning Goal
How many do I have now?
What mathematicians are doing at school...
Children will grab a handful of materials, count how many they have, and practice simple counting skills. This helps develop number sense and fine motor coordination.
What readers & writers could be doing at home...
At home, kids can grab small objects like buttons or blocks, count them, and say, 'How many do I have?' This builds counting skills in a playful way
Science or Social Studies
Learning Goal
Wellness: Clapping Machine
What tigers are doing at school...
Clapping Machine is a brain-boosting activity where children follow a clapping pattern, then repeat or create their own. It strengthens focus, memory, and rhythm, encouraging active listening and coordination.
What tigers could be doing at home...
At home, kids can create their own clapping patterns and challenge family members to follow them, or try repeating patterns they hear in songs or videos. This helps improve memory and rhythm skills in a fun way
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.
