Winter Clothes

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:
--No school Friday, Jan. 19th due to teacher inservice

--Our first field trip will be Wednesday, Jan. 31st and Thursday, Feb. 1st. We will be going to the Broadway Theatre.
