Dear Families,
Well,
hello to winter in New England! There is nothing like a good blizzard
to grab our attention and stop everything for a day or two. Sure hope you stayed cozy and warm
while the wintery winds howled!
And also maybe got some fort building or a sledding run in… J
Our
biography unit
is coming to an end… as kids work on their Biography Poster that has now been
brought home. I imagine you have
gotten a first hand glimpse of the poster and learned a bit about whomever your
child is reading. We have a nice variety of famous people… King Tut, Helen
Keller, Daniel Boone, Elisabeth Stanton Jackie Robinson Dr. Seuss and even Tom
Brady… just to name a few. We will
make a Wall of Fame in the hallway outside
our classroom. Feel free to come
and check it out! Please encourage your child to finish the poster for next
week. The “due date” will be Friday
February 6th for those who need a deadline.
Perhaps
the school highlight for our very shortened week together was the kick off of
our first grade reading buddies. We are pairing up with Mrs.
Fitzgerald’s class. Once a week we
will get to cozy up with our new reading buddies and enjoy a few good books
together. Please inquire with your
kiddo…! Lastly, The
2nd Annual Great Kindness Challenge will continue into next
week! And go Patriots!
