Hello Families,


Thank you so much for your generous donations!  I am so excited to buy some new books and art supplies needed for our class! I am so thankful to all of you wonderful parents!!!!

This Thursday,  Feb. 6, Courtney (Gigi's mom),  will be visiting our class to take pictures  for the yearbook,  She had the fantastic idea to have them write on a chalkboard what they would like to be when they grow up. If they would like to dress up as the part, they could do that too! (ie-If they want to be a firefighter they could wear a fire helmut, doctor- a lab coat, etc.)  

This week, we had so much fun learning about polar bears and penguins and how animals adapt to the cold areas.   We also did a science experiment on animal blubber.  Ask your child about what they learned about blubber.   

On Monday, we are celebrating  the 100th day of school.  The kiddos are so excited! We have fun centers planned to celebrate with the number 100!!!!

Math:  Wow! I was so impressed with our CGI word problem this week!  Students are starting to understand so many ways to solve both addition and subtraction word problems.  Celebrate your child at home with how amazing their math knowledge is becoming with subtracting and adding!  Continue to practice mental math by sharing real world word problems to see if they can figure it out at home.
