Welcome back from Christmas break! We have gotten right back into the swing of things. Thank you to everyone for sending your child with the right gear for playing outside in the new snow. This fit in perfectly with our theme for this past week of "Winter Clothes." We talked about the things we need for recess: snow pants, boots, winter jacket, hat, and gloves/mittens. We talked about how the thin stretchy gloves are gloves but are not the best for recess because they are thin and get wet from the snow very quickly and not always dry by our second recess. We made fun Snowy Day people from mitten shapes, worked on a few graphing activities with winter clothes, and practiced our coloring skills. We also focused on the letter Ww and the number 6. Please continue to work with your child on the zipping of his/her own coat independently. We would like to add more students to our Zipper Club!
Next week we will be talking all about snow and snowmen, the number 7 and the letter Ss.
Reminders:
--If you have not sent back the Hat Project page that focuses on the first letter of your child's name, please do so. We are making classroom books with these.

--There is no school for all grades on Friday, Jan. 22nd due to teacher inservice.
