Tuesday December 20th will be our Polar Express fun day! Students can wear or bring their (school appropriate) pajamas, slippers, bathrobes, and a stuffed animal (as long as it will fit in their backpack). 

We will be joining Mrs. Plummer's class and be reading the book: The Polar Express and acting out the scenes as they unfold in the story.  

A reminder that Christmas vacation begins on Thursday December 22nd and we return on January 3rd, 2023! 

I want to take just a second to thank you all for making this year amazing for me. You are all so thoughtful, kind, and wonderful. I am honored and humbled to finish out 2022 with your children and I am so looking forward to a 2023 filled with so much love and growth! Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year!!!

Dear Families, 

We have been having so much fun learning about the solar system this week! We traveled with a rover to Mars and had an astronaut on the space station read a book to us! (Her hair was floating all around her!)

Books Read: Good Night Moon, The Man in the Moon, Rock-a-bye Moon, and individual planet fact books.

Reading workshop is going very well. We are engaging in daily practice of reading books at our level as well as exploring picture books that we might not be able to read yet, but that teach us about non-fiction topics of interest and stories that we can follow through pictures- even if we can't read the print. 

Writing workshop gets into full swing next week! 

In math we are working with teen numbers, playing games with partners, formation of numbers, making pictures to match the number written, addition and subtraction practice and continuing our calendar routines. Our routines at calendar time include; counting to the calendar number of the day, weather observations, tracking the number of days we have been in school and days of the week. 

As the weather is cooling down and the snow has arrived, remember we go outside on days above 10 degrees and as long as it isn't rain or ice. Fresh air is so important and I ask you to help me by sending your child with warm clothing and to make sure they have an extra set of clothing in case of emergency. 

We are learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)

Dear Families, 

Rabbit! Rabbit! Ask your child what it means if you are unsure! 

PLEASE remember that we are very busy at school and the sharing of toys, jewelry, hair accessories, and cash should not be something we are doing at school. It is confusing and distracting. Thank you.

We have been having so much fun learning about the solar system this week! We know what makes day and night and that the sun is our closest star. How exciting! 

Books Read: Out In Space, Magic School Bus Lost in the Solar System, Stars! Stars! stars!, Eight Spinning Planets, There's No Place Like Space, Sun: Our Nearest Star, What Makes Day and Night?
