We have now had
our first week of the 2016!! I had a
great Holiday and now back into the swing of things. Last week we reviewed letters. We did not do science so we could spend more
time on math. We spent time finding mismatched
mittens, counting, and measuring snowmen with linking cubes. This week for math we will find matching
mittens and sort mittens into different groups and talk about how they are the
same and different.
For science this
week we will be talking about the ocean.
We are going to pretend we are on the warm beaches of some tropical
island so we can escape the cold of winter.
We will taste what the ocean tastes like, and see what mineral is in the
ocean and talk about what you would see if you went to the ocean and what
animals live in the ocean. We will also
learn about octopuses and how they use camouflage.
Snow
day- On January 21st
we will have a snow day. Please have you
child wear their snow clothes to school and we will play in my yard in the
snow. We will play outside for centers
and then come in and start our day. Will
you send 2 bags to school. Their school
bag and a backpack or other bag we can put their snow clothes in when we come
inside. I will need at least one parent
to come and help me supervise kids out side and then help put their snow gear
away in their bags.
Registration-
Preschool registration
will begin the first week of February. I
will send out the information at the end of the month.
Falcon Ridge sent
out a notice that they have started their Kindergarten registration for next
year, so if you have a per-kindergartener you may want to stop by the school
and fill out a registration form.
