The theme vocabulary words include: animal, climb, feathers, fly, fur, scales, shell, slither and swim. Math vocabulary words include: height, length and order.
We will be learning the letter Ll, number 11 and continue to review shapes and colors. We will be reading the books “Biggest, Strongest, Fastest”, “Big Earth, Little Me”, “Roar!

To go along with the book “Chicken Soup with Rice”, we will be enjoying chicken soup with rice in class this upcoming Friday! Lastly, we will recap this short week in our weekly journals.
Our focus this week will be all things snow and snowmen! We will create multiple snowman projects that will be displayed in our hallway. Pictures will be displayed via ClassDojo.
