a big thanks

I just wanted to thank Justin's family for the wonderful animal presentation and pizza lunch yesterday.  I still can't believe we had all those amazing animals right here in our classroom!  I hope all of your children came home and told you all about it last night.

This Week's focus

This week, we will use the book Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault to learn more about letter-sound relationships.  We continue to do hands on activities to reinforce our numeracy skills.

the weather thwarts my plans

My unit based on Lois Ehlerts Snowballs has been cancelled due to a lack on snow.  Who would have guessed we wouldn't have snow in January.  Next week, I plan to begin a unit based on Lois Ehlerts Waiting for Wings.  This assumes that the caterpillars that we will grow into butterflies arrive as expected.  Bare with me.  I hate not knowing what the plan is but one must be flexible.

Today we have library and physical education.

our feild trip

Check your child's backpack for the permission form for our Field trip to the Scarborough Historical Museum.  Please return the form as quickly as possible so we can be prepared for Monday.

Today, we are walking over to Albert Campbell Library to visit with the children's librarian.

I have sent home a counting game you can play with your child.  It isn't homework or required in any way.  It's just a fun game you can play if you wish.
