GO BAGS!
Your child will be bringing home their Go Bag on Monday. This bag contains 3 leveled books and 1 good fit book. These leveled books are on your child's individual reading level and they should be able to read these books with little assistance from you. They are a great way to improve your child's reading! The Go Bags will always go home on Monday and are returned on Thursday. They should stay at home or be kept in your child’s backpack until Thursday so you can practice reading with your child every night. On Friday your child will shop for new books to bring home the following week.

BUILDING
We have learned a lot about 2d and 3d shapes. The children had an opportunity this week to show what they have learned by building their own shapes. They were given straws and play-do to work with. Next, they had to figure out how they could use these two materials to build shapes. They did a GREAT job!
At the beginning of the year we ordered blue tie-dye t-shirts. When they finally came in, many of you complained that there were holes or tears in them. We reported the holes to the t-shirt company and they sent us brand new t-shirts! The children were able to wear these new shirts for our in-house field trip on Friday. We hope you like them as much as we do!
VALENTINE’S DAY
We will be having a special Valentine’s Day snack on
Thursday, February 14th. We will also be exchanging Valentine cards
on Thursday. Please check your child’s OTIS on Monday for a class list. Please
make sure you send a card for every child!
100th DAY
I cannot believe we have now been in school for just over
100 days! The year is flying by! To celebrate the 100th day the children
participated in fun centers. They made a necklace with 100 pieces of pasta,
created a 100th day hat, made and enjoyed a snack of 100 yummy
things, drew a picture of themselves at 100, wrote a 100th day book,
and built some really cool things with 100 cups. It was a blast!
MINI-METEOROLOGISTS
We had our in-house field trip on Friday and it was awesome!
The kids learned lots of things about the weather and participated in different
experiments. They tasted a cloud, made a tornado, made snow, and learned about positive
and negative energy. Make sure you check out the slide show!
SCIENCE GO ROUND
We will be participating in a school wide science day on
February 22nd. The children will be rotating from classroom to classroom and
learning lots about science! Our schedule will be wacky that day so please BRING
A BAGGED LUNCH! We will not be eating in the cafeteria.
