Welcome back!
I hope that you all had a wonderful break! Now it's time to get back to work. I'm so excited for all the learning that we have coming up throughout January.
This week we will be reading "Little quack" and working on the skill of comprehension. In math we are starting a new calender this week. I am also introducing a new activity called Number of the Day. We will be doing this a few times a work in order to build a stronger number sense. New centers will also be rolled out later this week.
MLK day is on January 19th. In social studies with Ms. M the kids will be learning about Martin Luther King. This can be a sensitive subject and therefore you may have some questions coming home from your child. She will be discussing the reason why we honor him.
I will be starting assessments this week as well and continue them throughout the month of January in order to prepare for report cards. This means that I will be pulling kids from the classroom during center time. If you would like to come in between 9:30am-11am to give us some extra support this month please send me an e-mail!
My last note is that we are once again running low on snacks. If you are able please pick something up the next time you are out shopping :)
I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far.
