Last week and this week our theme is "Dinosaurs". We had fun making skeleton dinos from noodles, paper plate dinos with watercolors and practiced drawing a few in our journals. We focused on the letter Dd and #9 last week and this week our focus is on Mm and the #10.
We will be taking our first field trip this Wed./Thurs. Thank you to everyone who has already sent back their $4 to cover the popcorn and drink. :-) Looking forward to a fun time!
Thank you to the families who were able to join us for our Jan. FBI event at the Simek Center. Everyone looked like they had a lot of fun on the ice!
Reminders:
--Our Valentine's Parties will be Feb 14th and 15th. If your child wants to bring a valentine for the class it is fine but not required. There are 13 students in our M/W class and 10 in our T/Th class. There are students with allergies to berries in our classes this year, so please keep this in mind if sending an edible treat.
--Early release on Thursday, Feb. 15th, dismissal at 1:52.
--No school Friday, Feb. 16th
--February's FBI event will be the morning of Friday, Feb. 23rd. We will be going to Huey's Hideaway Children's Museum. More info will be coming soon!
This week our theme was "Snow and Snowmen" and we made all sorts of different kinds with a variety of materials-paint, glitter, plates, labels, paper, and blocks. The kids really enjoyed getting outside for recess this week to play in the snow too! We also focused on the letter Ss and number 7.
The end of 2nd quarter is coming up soon and we are rechecking skills for both 1st and 2nd quarter. If you have any questions about the grades you see on your child's report card, please ask! A skill that will be checked soon is knowing the letters in your child's name in a random order. Naming letters, as well as printing their name, are great skills to work on throughout the school year.
Next week our theme will be "Arctic Animals".
Reminders:
--No school on Friday, Jan. 19th due to teacher inservice
--January's Families Being Involved event (ice skating) is Jan. 26th. Sign up slips are due next week!

Welcome back! It was a very cold Christmas break, but I hope that you were able to still enjoy it with family and friends. This week we talked about "winter clothes" and how important it is to bundle up. We also focused on the letter Ww.
Next week our theme will be "Snow and Snowmen". The end of 2nd Quarter is coming up soon, we are continuing to recheck skills from 1st quarter as well as the new skills for this quarter. One skill that is great to keep working on at home is writing your child's first name. It helps to have a proper pencil grip -using the thumb and pointer finger to pinch the pencil. Be sure to remind your child to start with a capital letter followed by all lowercase and beginning their letters in the sky/above the line rather than working from bottom/line up.
Reminders:
