January

January is off to a good but cold start for us. We have had a few inside recess days due to the wind chill but please remember to send your child with snowpants, boots, winter jacket, hat, gloves/mittens as we will go out if the temperature and windchill are not too cold and it makes for a better ride home if they are all bundled up as well. 

Our first week back was a short one with a snow day tossed in. We discussed winter clothes, made mitten projects, sorted and graphed mittens. We focused on the letter Ww and the number 6. 

This past week we talked all about snow and snowmen. We made several different versions of snowmen in our projects. We cut out and painted large snowflakes. The letter of the week was Ss and our number was 7. 

We had our Families Being Involved event today at the Simek Center. The kids had a great time ice skating with family and friends! Thank you to those who signed up to join us. 

Next week we will be focusing on games, letter Gg, and number 8. We will be practicing taking turns, working cooperatively, and following directions. We will get a chance to play games with our high school buddies and a 4th grade class too! 

Reminders:
There will be no school for all students on Friday the 23rd.

Our first field trip will be Feb. 4th and 5th to the Broadway Theatre. More information will be coming home this Wed. and Thurs. 

Our Valentine's Party will be Feb. 11th and 12th--more information to come.

We will have an early release on Thursday, Feb. 19th and no school on Friday, Feb. 20th.
