It was wonderful to be back together again in Room 202 after the long holiday break. Although we only had two short days together, the children were certainly busy! Please enjoy the pictures I have shared below!

Curriculum Update:
Literacy Centers
The class was back in the swing of things in no time and enjoyed completing New Year themed center activities!
The students above are learning about New Year traditions around the world, as well as drawing a tradition that is celebrated in their family.
Finding words in our classroom that began with the letters in "New Year" was a fun Write the Room challenge!
It was great to review the letters of the alphabet and practice sequencing them in the cut, glue, color activity pictured above.
Both word order and sentence writing was the focus of the teacher-led center above. The children continue to practice writing sentences that begin with an uppercase letter, end with an ending mark, and include finger spaces.
New Year Goals!
The children worked hard to brainstorm goals for the New Year! Learning to tie their shoes, ride a bike, and eat more chicken were among some of the wonderful ideas that were shared.
Sneezy the Snowman
On Friday the class enjoyed listening to the story Sneezy the Snowman by Maureen Wright. As a fun extension of this book, the class created their own melted snow people and came up with creative ideas about how they melted! Using a blow dryer, going in a hot tub, and touching a curling iron were just a few of the VERY imaginative ideas that were had!
Thanks so much for taking a peek at our week! Please check back soon to see all that is new in Room 202!
