Dear Families,
Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time and enjoyed the long break from
school! And how about the poetry
book that your kiddo made for you and the family? We sure hope you loved it! Great to see all the kids after
our time away!
Thank you for all the wonderful holiday cards,
sweet sentiments, and the lovely gifts! I felt very spoiled by so many of you. J Also, we love
our new classroom supplies! New pencils, erasers, art items, dry
erase markers, glue sticks, soft tissues, hand soap and great books just to
name a few! We are in good
shape as we head into winter! Also, thanks to our awesome
volunteers who helped at the Winter Celebration event, rolling pinecone
after pinecone in birdseed… and for the contributions of various items for our
holiday event. We had great food
and treats for our afternoon party!
Truly without you and your help we couldn’t make these types of things happen for the kids. Thanks Parents!
We
have officially started our cursive practice with
several letters under our belt. Kids seem to love learning it and have good
focus and attention to detail.
Also we are in a new read aloud book (ask your child about the
title and details) …
and we have just ended our
exploration of small numbers
(decimals) in Unit 5 math. Unit 6
is a geometry unit of study. And a
big round of applause for our persuasive essay writers!! They are all either
finished or on the home stretch.
Well done kids!
Lots of new things to start off the New Year… including
our two new students! How exciting
for us. We happily welcome Keegan
and Cheyene to our class. Have
a great weekend… and stay warm!
