BURRRRR......ITS COLD OUTSIDE!!!!!

Morning greeting started with "good morning_______" and high five the person sitting next to you.  These exercises are great for getting kids to look at each other and speak to each other in a polite way.

We read The Hat by, Jan Brett. Then talked about what happened first, next and last in the story. We played with magnetic boards finding letters that were called out. Made words with the magnets as well as used wiki sticks to make our letters and words. We also had kids stand in a row, and with our fingers wrote a letter on their back. Then each child had a chance to write their letter on the big white board. It is such mystery to these kids what we may write on their backs. Great activity to do any time with your child. And kids can do it to the adults too!

  

We had "Silent Reading" time today. Each of the kids got their own books and read in a quiet space in the room. They had the chance to read different books.  Many were reading the leveled reader books. These books are great for picture walking as well as giving them an opportunity to read the words or sound out some of the words.  

      

BURRRRR......ITS COLD OUTSIDE!!!!!  

Please send your child to school with appropriate clothing. We have modeled what is good for this weather, like boots, hat, mittens/gloves, scarfs, jacket that zips up, and some kids are coming in with snow pants just for warmth. Please help your kids come in prepared for the weather. 

Join Ethan and his mom, Celeste, for the kids Trick or Trot fun run, on Saturday at 4pm. Check out the bulletin for more info.
