Welcome Back! January 9- 12, 2017

I hope you all enjoyed a relaxing winter break with your families.  It was great to see all those smiling faces on Monday!  Everyone had lots of stories to share.
Miss Whitaker joined our class this week...we are so excited to have her with us for the next several months!  She read the books The Snowy Day and Peter's Chair  by Ezra Jack Keats and we watched the movie of The Snowy Day.  Then, she did a comparison chart with the children, discussing the main characters, as well as the beginning, middle and end of each of the stories.  



We began learning about Arctic Habitats.  We played a game to learn about the topic and then worked in small groups to sort animals that belong in the Arctic/ animals that do not.  



This week, we began number combinations of 3 in math.  We will be spending several weeks on    
                           combinations as it is an important concept for the children to grasp.  
Since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is the reason we have no school on Monday, we learned a little bit about him and made our own renditions of him :) 






This week: 
It's  a Glow Party!
Don't forget to come to the PBIS Family Night this Wednesday evening.  Miss Whitaker and I will both be there so be sure to say "HI!"  There will be lots of prizes, raffles, and everything will be glowing!!!
