Week of November 21

Wow! It's hard to believe that we are fast approaching December! Today's blast of snow was a reminder that winter is on it's way!  The kids loved playing outside in the snow.  Please remember to send your child in with snowpants and winter accessories (hat, gloves) as they do go out 3 times per day.  Extra socks and a spare change of clothes is always good to have as well.

Today we learned about the letter "s" and it's sound.  Our word of the week is the word "is".  We buttered our poem and counted all of the "is" words in the poem.  Our sk students did a great job incorporating the word of the week into their writing.  Please continue to point it out with your child at home.

We also took a time warp today back to the 1990's and learned the running man and a parody to Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby!  We learned a song called "I Know My ABC's".  It is a must watch to bring you back to your youth!  The children also enjoyed singing along to "What Do The Letters Say".  These are fun songs to help the kids learn their letters and sounds.

In Math,  we looked at different lengths and glued them in order from longest to shortest.  We also worked on creating different types of patterns for our pattern tree.  It turned out beautiful.
