It's SNOW fun!

Hope you had a restful vacation. The class came back in great spirits with many stories to tell.

We have been...
-talking and writing stories about our vacation.
-writing a thank you letter for a gift we received (please forward/mail to the addressee).
-learning a poem about Winter Clothes.
-changing words to Super Silent e words (from cap to cape, hop to hope, twin to twine...)
-enjoying the snow at recess.

Winter Clothes
We go to recess if it is 14 degrees or more.
Please send winter gear! Many kids don't have their hats or mittens this week.
Inside shoes are a must. Boots get hot, sweaty and smelly when worn all day! :)

Animals in Winter
We have started to talk about what animals do when it gets cold out. We have read Manatee Winter, and they migrate to warmer waters in winter. We were wondering what fish (in ponds...that freeze) do when winter comes. If you and your child think about another animal and wonder about their winter, find the answer to share with the class. Please print something out, or share a book to site your information.

H1N1
Our kids need the booster shots for the H1N1 and the seasonal flu shots. BUT they will not be administered here at school. Please see flyer/email for more info...I think Jan 12 is the date. 4-6 at MAMS?
