We've had a chilly start to 2017! Despite the colder temperatures, we managed to get outside for long enough to create a class size 'fire truck' and gather snow for some Snow Science! Ask your child about the predictions they made related to snow, ice and water. Also, ask them what they chose to do with their cup of snow!
We were so happy to see Miss Lizzy again for music! She read us a great book that featured lots of instruments, and we were amazed to see how many instruments students knew! Ask your child what we learned about Conductors!
During K/1 time this week, we read the story, Over and Under The Snow. We then got to work on creating two collaborative murals that will be hung outside our classroom and Mrs. Strachan's classroom. The classroom buzzed with creative energy! Ask your child about their contribution to the mural, and what they learned about animals in the snow!
We are also LOVING our first Show and Tell theme of the year: Animals. So far, students have brought in a cheetah, an eagle, a walrus and a frog. Our goal is to see 22 different animals! Students have done a wonderful job preparing three clues to share with the class, and I am extremely impressed with their confidence speaking in front of the class. We are all looking forward to seeing the animals that will come in over the next two weeks!
