I am excited to share what we learned about this week!  First, please see these reminders:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reminders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>MID-WINTER BREAK: Mid-Winter Break is Friday, February 18-Tuesday, February 22.  <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">THERE IS NO SCHOOL THESE  DAYS!<\/span><\/strong>  School will resume on Wednesday, February 23.  I hope you all have a wonderful and restful break!<\/li><li>MASKS:\u00a0<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Masks must be worn at all times on school property.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0Families, please make sure your child is wearing a mask as they enter school. Please make sure you are packing\u00a0<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">EXTRA MASKS<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in your child\u2019s backpack! We do keep extra masks in the classroom, however, we do not want to accidentally run out of masks should a child need one.\u00a0<span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>All adults must also wear masks when dropping off and picking up their children.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Thank you all very much for your understanding, as this is a Dearborn Public Schools requirement.<\/li><li>DROP OFF AND DISMISSAL: Preschool starts promptly at 8:15 AM. Dismissal is at 3:00 PM SHARP! If your child is going to be absent, you must call the classroom (313) 827-6575 or text me on Remind BEFORE school starts. Thank you all very much for your understanding and cooperation!<\/li><li>WATER BOTTLES: Please make sure you are sending your child to school with a water bottle. We do not have a drinking fountain in the classroom, however, we can refill your child\u2019s water bottle throughout the day.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Did We Learn About This Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;The Letter B Song&quot; by ABCmouse.com\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RoFz9V_BEG4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>B was our letter this week!  We talked about what the B sound makes, as well as read about things that start with letter B (ball, button, boat, bear, bubbles, bee).  We wrote about these in our writing journals!  We also practiced our fine motor AND alphabetic knowledge skills by cutting out capital and lowercase B&#8217;s.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/Resized-Resized-20220214-092616-scaled.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/Resized-Resized-20220214-092616-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-242\" width=\"302\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/Resized-Resized-20220214-092616-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/Resized-Resized-20220214-092616-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/Resized-Resized-20220214-092616-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/Resized-Resized-20220214-092616-scaled.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We continued our LEGO STEAM exploration this week in our small groups.

We watched how Amazon sorts the mail in the right places so they can deliver our mail to our houses.  After watching the video, we used our knowledge to build our own sorting centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"245\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=245\" class=\"wp-image-245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4056-scaled.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"246\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=246\" class=\"wp-image-246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4034-scaled.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"247\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/?attachment_id=247\" class=\"wp-image-247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/thompsonl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3392\/2022\/02\/IMG-4031-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After building our sorting centers, we talked about where the packages go after they&#8217;ve been sorted.
