We hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Christmas break. It was nice to spend extra time with our family, friends and our own kiddos during the craziness of the holidays but we are ready to get back into our school routines! We have so much fun planned for the second semester.
First, let's recap what we are currently working on!
We are almost finished learning about uppercase letters that only consist of straight lines.
 |
| Letter "F" fish. |
 |
| Letter "L" lions. |
 |
| Practicing on the dry erase boards. |
This week we will be learning, singing and crafting about the letter "Y". After this week we will have covered the following letters: A, E, F, H, I, K, L, M, N, T, V, W, X, Y, Z.
We also had lots of fun during our "mittens" theme unit! Perfect timing with all of the very cold weather we have had :) We practiced our fine motor skills with mitten crafts that required a lot of following directions!

Another center the kids really worked hard on was a mitten counting graph! So proud of them!!
We have been challenging them with new and a bit more complex centers this semester. One of my favorite things about our students is their determination to succeed!
Seeing their accomplishments in their smiles is so rewarding :)

Next week will be our review week for letters "F, L, Y" and we will also be having a SNOWMAN unit that we are SUPER excited about!!!
Important infomation:
- Accidents sometimes happen :) please make sure your child has a change of clothes in their backpack that is season appropriate.
- EVERY student needs to practice putting their coats/hoodies on by themselves. They also should practice packing their binder into their backpack, zipping their backpack and putting on their backpacks without assistance. This will help our dismissal routine go a bit more smoothly and is great practice for pre-k next year when they will be required to do these things without assistance :)
- Please clean out your child's binder EVERYDAY! Thank you!!
- Library books are coming home every Thursday again! Please take good care of our books and enjoy your time reading with your child. Please return library books on WEDNESDAYS.
- We will be having a Valentine's Day party on February 13th. More information, a sign up sheet and a family project will be coming home soon ♥
As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions! Thank you for sharing your children with us ♥
