Snow and Snowmen

This week our theme was "Snow and Snowmen." We have definitely had enough snow fall recently to get out there and enjoy making our own snowmen, snowballs, snow forts, etc. Some students talked about getting to ice skate, snowmobile, and go sledding down hills. Thank you for taking the time to enjoy the outdoors with your child! We also focused on the letter Ss and the number 7. 

Next week we will be talking about Arctic Animals, the number 8, and the letter Pp. 

Reminders:
--There will be no school on Friday, Jan. 20th due to teacher inservice.
--January's Families Being Involved event is ice skating the 27th at the Simek Center for those who sign up. The slips are due back next week-please be sure to list the sizes of skates you will need so we can be sure everyone is able to enjoy the ice. Mon/Wed will be skating from 9:00-9:30 and Tues/Thurs will be skating from 9:30-10:00. 
--Please be sure to label your child's snow pants, boots, gloves and hats. We have the students wearing their snow pants at the end of the day because we go straight from last recess to dismissal. In addition, some bus rides can be long and cold so the additional layer holds back the chill on the route home. 
--Our first field trip will be Feb. 1st and 2nd in the morning. We will be going to the Broadway Theatre to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs to go along with our two week theme of Dinosaurs.
