Brrrr! What a cold week! Your children have been doing a great job with their jackets. We have been working hard on independently putting on jackets, and zipping or snapping them. Have your child show you what a great job he/she can do!

Reminders:
We still need our mid-year supplies for our class! If you have not sent in your twist up crayons, 2 glue sticks and 1 glue bottle, please do so as soon as possible.

By now your child should know all of his/her letter sounds. Please continue to practice and review them at home. This week we started learning about word families. This week we talked all about –at words (like cat, hat, etc.) See what –at words your child can think of! In math we reviewed our numbers, and are getting ready to learn all about 3-d shapes. In science and social studies we have been talking about pets and how to take care of them. Next week we will learn about Martin Luther King Jr.

Here is a link to our –at wall wisher

see if you and your child can think of some more –at words. (If you want to add a picture a good idea is to use Google images and just search clip art)

Greyson was our terrific kid this week. Here is what he had to say about our week.
We got 10 panther paws, then we got extra recess. We got to go on the big playground every day because it is after Christmas. We are learning new songs in music. We watched a karate movie with Coach because it was too cold to go outside! Mrs. T. came today. Brandon brought his hamster to school. We are learning about pets. This week was fantastic!
