Mathematics We are celebrating the 100th day of school on Wednesday, February 9,2011. You are invited to visit our 100 museum that day beginning at 2:45 p.m. You child should bring their 100 collection display to school on Monday. Please speak to Ms. Karen or Ms. Sedi if you have any questions about this project.
Science/Social Studies Our class is beginning a study of wood and paper. We will be looking at the properties of wood and paper (texture, color, absorbency, flexibility, etc.) and how different kinds of wood and paper are alike and different. We will be sending home a science book to read with your child, “Wood and Paper”. This book is to be kept a home until the end of the science unit. If you have not yet returned the Tree book, please do so as soon as possible.
Language Arts We are exploring the different ways folktales tell a story. We read 3 different versions of the Three Little Pigs and next week we begin with versions of Goldilocks. We compare the characters, setting, plot and “the problem” in the stories. Some of the children are choosing to write their own version of some of the folktales.
Parent Information Dear Parents, Book month is off to a great start! The children are so enthusiastic about reading. Today, they read with their Reading Buddies, and they get points for being read to—and their buddies get points for the books they read to the kindergartners.
The snack calendar, up to spring break, is included. Please note the day you are scheduled to bring snack. Your support of your child’s learning is what makes the different between a good student and an indifferent one. While reading aloud everyday is important, playing, talking, and following through on children’s work sent home is critical as well. Ms. Karen and Ms. Sedi
The newsletter will be sent by email, with one posted outside the classroom. If you would like a hard copy please tell us. Ms. Karen and Ms. Sedi
