Dear Families we hope all of you are doing well and have been doing your best to  stay warm with all of the snow we have been getting this year. 🙂  The Little Scholar students are working on Letter R this week and have been working on their math and science skills, by dying and mixing rice and making play dough.  The Little Scholar’s Class is also working on writing their letter’s and small works as well as beginning reading skills.  All of the students now can recognize their last names and know the letters that are in their last names, and  are working on tracing their last names.

The Mini Scholar’s class has been working on the Letter E this week, and their first names the students are learning how to recognize their first names. The Mini Scholar students have been working on tracing their first names and working on letter recognition with the letters in their names. Mini Scholar students have also been working on their fine motor skills by learning how to properly hold a pencil and how to use it as a writing utensil.  The students have also been working on learning how to hold and use scissors as well.

Both Classes have just finished up units on hibernation and The Winter Olympic’s the student’s enjoyed both of the units.  The students have been working on their music and movement skills during large group time as well as the go noodle program, which is a exercise program/indoor recess activities to keep their bodies moving during the cold weather.

Just a reminder that over winter break it may be a good idea to wash hats, gloves, jackets and backpacks during the winter months their tend to be lots of germs in the classroom. Just a reminder to make sure students have extra clothing in their backpacks as well.
