Announcements
Winter Weather Has Arrived!
The snow is here! And with it, come the challenges of recess! Whenever possible, we WILL try to go OUTDOORS for recess. Children may play in the snow, providing they are dressed appropriately. To play in the snow, they MUST have boots, snow pants, mittens, warm coats and a hat or hood. If you have one to spare, reusable shopping bags are a great way for the children to bring all of their snow gear to and from school each day. Thank you for your understanding. Happy Winter!
Curriculum Update
Math
For the last several weeks the children have been learning all about teen numbers! We have learned that teen numbers start with a "1", and that all teen numbers have one group of ten and then "some more"! This week we will begin our next topic which introduces the students to addition! Our focus this week will center around stories about joining groups!
We had a great time using our knowledge about teen numbers to create these seasonal snow people!
Literacy
Last week in Literacy we read the book Little Panda by Joanne Ryder. This nonfiction text explored the life of Hua Mei, a panda living at the San Diego zoo in 1999. Not only did we read this exciting text, but we also enjoyed watching the Panda Cam which is available on the San Diego Zoo's website! Watch the pandas at home by clicking here!
The children had a great time making their own pandas to go along with our story of the week!
Last week we also learned three new sight words: me, she, and with, and explored the sound of the letter B!
Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek at our week!
Mrs. B :)
