Welcome Back and Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful day today! The children were happy to be back and everyone worked so well on every task they were given!

Following the Opening Exercises in the Gym, and a “workout” with our leader, Madison, we did morning jobs and spent a long time on calendar! We discussed the New Year and the new pattern on January’s calendar! The children have a new “morning job” now ~ each student is responsible for gluing the day’s message into their agenda and making sure that I see any messages you have enclosed. We discussed highlights of the holidays and had snack time.

Our story today was called “Perfect Snow” by Barbara Reid. In Language Arts we learned the sound of “F,f.” Each grade did a separate skill-sheet for the “f” sound. Tomorrow is Sound Pail for things that start with F,f!

In the afternoon the children had some free time while I read with today’s readers and got new books into the Reading Bags for those children! We had Gym time and played “What Time is it Mr. Wolf?”  The day ended with French with Mme. V.

Have a super evening!

Looking forward to another great day tomorrow!

PS. Just in case it wasn’t clear in my letter regarding the Math project, each student will be building their own structure this year! (Last year we built a giant one together!) Please send your child’s materials in any time but definitely by Jan. 20^th so we can finish off this unit before the end of the month!
