Hello KW Parents and Friends,
I hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable 5 day weekend with family and friends. It is always nice to have time to spend special moments with the people you love.
This week we will be talking about the letter N. Students will talk about noodles, and nurses, and non-fiction stories (and lots of other things). We will also begin our next author study as we begin to learn about the wonderful authors Don and Audrey Woods. During the week we will examine their stories and talk about what their books have in common, as well as brainstorm about what may have given them ideas for their stories. One of our centers for the week will be to look at Don and Audrey Wood's books. The children will be encouraged to check some of their books out from the library as well. In math, we will continue to work on problem solving and learn a new problem solving game. Students will be introduced to the nickel as we begin to exchange pennies for a nickel during our calendar time. Our science unit of health is over. We are still encouraging the kids to being healthy snacks though and fruits and vegetable stickers may be given out during the week to those who bring in these healthy items.
During this time of year we talk about family traditions and holidays. If you would like to come in to the classroom and tell us about a family holiday or tradition that you have/celebrate, we would LOVE it. It is important for kids to grow up respecting eachothers differences as well as learn about cultures and traditions from around the world. If you have some book or activity, etc you would like to share, please send me an email and we can set up a date and time.
Once again I will ask you to please work on zipping and buttoning and pulling out sleeves. It looks like the cold days are here to stay! :(
Please remember to label EVEYTHING as well. We have so many lost items left behind everyday.
