Star
Class News
Week
of January 27th
As
I was sitting down to write this newsletter, I noticed some pretty
funny grammatical errors I made last week. Feel free to give me a
hard time when you notice them. I sometimes have to write with a few
distractions at my house, and don't proof read as well as I should.
This week we will have a friendly fire fighter visit on
January
27th
and 28th.
Scott, a dad in the Rainbow room, will be here with all of his gear
to talk to classes. This will be a great time to practice being a
good audience and learn about
fire safety.
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. All money is due this week.
Please give the money to Teacher Jo or Teacher Jaylene so they can
check you off as paid.
Family
Fun Night
Our
Family Fun Night is this week. 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.
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 can 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 Karen Beaumont, who has
written several fun books including Move Over Rover, I ain't gonna
paint no More, and Who Ate all the Cookie Dough. Through her
characters, we can learn about spacial awareness, honesty, and self
control. Monday and Tuesday, we get to paint (hopefully on paper)
although we will be finger paining a little as well, then heading to
hesseltine to see the firefighters. Wednesday we will create our own
dog houses, and talking about who gets to be in and out. Thursday
and Friday we will get to make cookies, creating cookie cutter art,
and play with “cookie dough play dough”.
Word
Wall
This
week we will bring back the word wall with the letter Yy
for
Yellow and Yak. Please have your child bring something that starts
with the letter to put in our pelican.

Who took the cookie from the cookie jar?

Who me? [Student points to herself.]
Yes, you! [Students nod their heads "yes" and point at the student.]
Not me! [Student shakes her head "no."]
Then who? [Everyone shrugs their shoulders.]
