It's Winter!

It snowed today!!!  It has been a great first week back at school!  We have been discussing snow and reading several books about snow.  This week we read “Snowman, Snowman” a story that teaches repetition in learning.  We learned about all the things a snowman would see walking outside and they all start with the letter S.  Sled, Skis, Scarf, Snow, and Snowflake.  We made snow this week with equal parts cornstarch and shaving cream!  It was super fun to play in the “snow”

In our math unit we finished our shapes and sorting unit.  We learned to use word descriptors and describe shapes by color, size or edges.  We also talked about how we sort them by size.  Please continue to work on these types of activities at home with your child to help discuss colors and shapes you see in your environment.

Brrrrr…. IT’S COLD OUTSIDE!!!   Please remember with the weather getting colder we go outside nearly every day.  According to FISD we will be outside, weather permitting when it is 32 degrees.  Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and in layers they can take off and put on themselves with minimal assistance independently.  Also, please keep all belongings LABELED so they do not get lost at school.
