Happy spring, Cedar families! We hope you will enjoy this coming spring break and get a chance to immerse in nature to refresh and reset your body and mind. The followings are the themes we focused on in the past two weeks.

Nowruz

Noushin presented the traditional custom of celebrating the Persian New Year to the class. Nowruz means “new days.” She brought many items such as candles, garlic, wheatgrass, an apple, coins, eggs, vinegar, poems, and hyacinth flowers. Each of them symbolizes something good and positive for the year’s renewal. The holiday goes on for 13 days and on the last day, people spend time with families and friends outdoors to share joy and laughter; they usually pack a picnic and dance. They also leave the wheatgrass in the river, symbolizing restarting the year with a clean and fresh mind. 

Sound of the Week–“q”, “r”

For the sound of “q”, we made a paper quilt. For “r”, we made yummy rice pudding.

Art with Julianne

We learned that clover has 4 leaves and shamrock has 3 leaves. We did fingerprints to make shamrocks. 

This week because of the rain and hails we made a rainy scene with oil pastels.
