Hello Parents! It is starting to feel a lot like Winter! This will be a short week due to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday on Monday and Parent-Teacher conferences on Friday. Also, with many other sicknesses still very present, please keep your child at home if they are not feeling their best for the safety of themselves and others.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Parent-Teacher conferences will be held this upcoming Friday, January 19th. If you have not done so already, please sign up for any available time slot via ClassDojo. Progress reports will be sent home with your child on Tuesday/Wednesday. Please come prepared with any questions or concerns you may have. Mrs. Maldonado and I look forward to speaking with you all!
We are taking a pause on our curriculum these next two weeks. We will continue to discuss different characteristics of animals and their habitats. We will continue to discuss the concept of hibernation this week as well as begin speaking about all things Penguins!! We will create shape penguins as a class craft. Stay tuned for sneak peek pictures on our Classdojo app!
During this short week, we will be learning the letter Nn, number 13 and continue to review shapes and colors. We will be reading penguin and bear books that go along with our topic of hibernation/migration. We will also take a look at the Arctic and the concept of water turning into ice/snow. As some of you might have noticed that we did not end up eating our chicken soup with rice last week, we will be enjoying that for snack this Wednesday! There will also be a special surprise for the children next week. More details regarding that will be posted to our ClassDojo very soon!
