The Weekly Word from CDS FP - February 25 - March 1, 2019
Looking Back
Hello All,
A four day week! As a result of the Independence Movement Day, I hope that families were able to enjoy the long weekend and spend quality time together. The majority of teachers were partaking in an inservice day at school on Friday. Much of it centered on curriculum and educational best practices. There were also several teachers on staff who attended a full two-day session (Friday and Saturday) off campus; this professional development focussed on Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) testing, and how to transform MAP data into practical instructional strategies that teachers can use immediately to empower their students in their individual growth journeys.
We welcome two new students to the FP community this week. Yoonsung Noh will join Ms. Bahr’s class in grade 1, and Jaden (Seonghyun) Park will join Ms. Garcia’s class in grade 2. Welcome, boys!
Parents, please feel welcome to join us on Tuesday, 9:15am in the Dalton Hall for the Term Assembly.
Educationally Yours,
Mr. Hill
Director of First Program

In the Spotlight
This week we are featuring Grade 1B, Art, and the Jumping for Healthy Hearts. Thank you, Ms. Bahr, Mr. Read, and Mr. Tronsgard!
Grade1 with Ms. Bahr
Throughout this term, Grade 1 has been working hard on using the strategies we learned to solve math facts. We’ve been building our understanding with math facts to 20 with fact triangles as well as learning to solve other addition and subtraction facts. This week, students in 1B have been creating and decorating a math fact game board of their own. Students worked on using both subtraction and addition facts that are challenging for themselves.
While playing the game that Junseong made, Claire said, “This is challenging but fun!”
Art with Mr. Read
In Term 3, all FP students worked with clay, had artwork fired in the kiln, and added color to their artwork by painting or glazing. 2nd-grade students made pots using a pinch pot technique and coil technique. Students learned the technique for applying glaze in layers and how to attach clay pieces.
Each student’s artwork is unique!
Jumping for Healthy Hearts with Mr. Tronsgard
On February 21st, CDS FP took part in our 3rd annual Jumping for Healthy Hearts event. The day started off with some amazing health presentations by the Grade 4 students, followed by some jumping games, a spectacular Grade 3 skipping performance and finally a collaborative effort to skip for 1 hour straight. Not only did the students get to enjoy an amazing day in the gym, but they were also able to raise nearly 700,000 won for charity. Way to go!
Thank you to all the students for their participation and effort and thanks to the parents at home for their support.
