Winter Clothes/ Boots

Winter has come early!  Thank you for dressing your student so warm!  Please remember to pack tennis shoes if your child wears snow boots to school.  They will need to change into shoes before coming in the classroom so we can keep the floor and rug area clean and dry.

If the temperature is above 20 degrees (with windshield) we are allowed to be outdoors for recess and morning line up.  If the temperature is below that there will be indoor recess and students are allowed to line up against their locker in the hallway in the morning.

What We Did This Week

Our new AlphaFriend was Callie Cat, letter C

In math we continued work with patterns, writing numerals and using our geometric shape templates to draw shapes.

During Daily 5 we used the Wikki Stix to outline alphabet letters, listened to a story about Bears, wrote in our Work on Writing notebook and selected new texts for Read to Self.

In handwriting this week we focused on letter E, using “big line” and “little lines”

In Science we used our sense of sight to observe color changes using water and food coloring.

We continue to read and write about Thanksgiving.

We had a lot of time to interact during Free Choice (with indoor recess all week) and work on play skills.

Have a good weekend!
