Week
of January 20th
We
hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful sunny weekend! Hopefully this
weather will continue this week so we can head outside to play.
Remember
to dress kids for the weather of the day. Dressing kids in layers is
a good plan since it can be chilly even when the sun is shining.
Putting names in coats, jackets, hats can help keep track of your
kids belongings and not get them mixed up with someone else's.
Good
Night Moon Field Trip
Payment
is due if you signed up for the Good Night Moon Field trip.
The cost per person is $5.00. We will only be going on the 12th
and meeting at the theater around 9:15. We will start collecting
money this week and need to send it in January 31st.
Please give the money to Teacher Jo or Teacher Jaylene so they can
check you off as paid.
Family
Fun Night
Remember
to sign up for our Family Fun Night for Friday, January 31. In order
to plan this event we need an idea of how many families will be
attending. We have planned a pajama party, cookie decorating, hot
chocolate, and a movie “The
Snowman and the Snowdog”.
This event will run from 5:30-6:45 with the movie starting at 6:15.
We will have a sign up by the classroom door, please let us know if
you plan to attend.
Portfolios
We are going to have to
re-evaluate what work is going to go into the portfolios. They are
filling up faster then we expected! We will be sending home some of
the old work and keeping only one or two projects from each month
(instead of one project from each theme) along with their handprints,
stories, name sheets, and alphabet work. So if you see more work
coming home in the next few weeks, don't be surprised!
Registration
for Next year
Registration
for next year is coming up quickly. Feel free to check out the 4
year old classes, ask around, and see what you think. If you have any
questions or would like recommendations please let Teacher Jo know.
We cans sit and talk before or after school, or schedule a time that
works. If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
This
week
This
week we will be learning about the stories of Caralyn Buehner, who
has written several snowmen books including Snowmen at Night, Snowmen
at work, and Snowmen all year. We will be creating our own snowmen
and talking about what happens to snowmen when it gets hot. We will
also be playing in shaving cream this week which we have found the
kids love to explore, so please send spare clothes. We have had to
change shirts before after playing in shaving cream.
Word
Wall
This
week we will bring back the word wall with the letter Xx
for
X-ray and Xerox. Please have your child bring something that starts
with the letter to put in our pelican.

Snowman
Once
there was a snowman, snowman, snowman,
Once there was a snowman tall, tall, tall. (Gradually move hand higher)
Then the sun it melted, melted, melted,
Then the sun it melted small, small, small. (Gradually Move hand lower)
Once there was a snowman tall, tall, tall. (Gradually move hand higher)
Then the sun it melted, melted, melted,
Then the sun it melted small, small, small. (Gradually Move hand lower)
I’m
a little Snowman
I’m
a little snowman,
Short and fat.
Here is my scarf.
Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out.
I’ve got to go!
But I’ll be back
The next time it snows.
Short and fat.
Here is my scarf.
Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out.
I’ve got to go!
But I’ll be back
The next time it snows.
