It has been so nice to be back at school with all of your sweet kids! I missed them SO much over break!! With these additional snow days it has given us a chance to ease back into it :)! Having two weeks off from school and additional snow days can be challenging getting back into routine, especially for young students. I think we are all slowly adjusting and it feels good to be back!
Top Frog:
We started our second round of Top Frog this coming week! It will be focused on a name game, revealing our favorite food and sport with white crayon and water color paints, and having an opportuniy to bring something special in to share with the class.
Popcorn Words
This weeks word was: a focus on word families. -in, -at, -an, -it, are, have, and the word “with”
Curriculum Info:

Phonics foucus for the next month will be vowels!
Math: We are continuing with unit 3 – teen numbers and anticipate completing this unit early February.
I wanted you to know I brought everyones towel home over break and washed them :)!
ALSO WE ARE IN NEED of class snacks! ON YOUR NEXT VISIT TO THE STORE, COULD YOU PLEASE PICK SOME UP FOR US!!!! I am asking that each family bring in 2 snacks for the class to share! Thank you so much!!! Kinders love our snack time! xoxo
Important Reminders:
Please remember to send your kinder with a hat, gloves/mittens and coat every day! Labeling everything is very helpful, as well as practicing getting snow gear off and on :)!
If there is snow on the ground, please plan to pack your child’s snow pants.
Please remember an AM snack is provided everyday, but if your child would like an additional snack during our PM towel intervention time please pack your child one each day. In the past, kids would finish their lunch they brought from home…. but with MOST kids getting hot lunch this year…. you may want to consider packing a snack for the PM.
**DON’T FORGET TO WEAR COZY PJs TOMORROW! WE HAVE A SCHOOL SOAR PARTY!!!!! PARK KIDS ARE DOING A GREAT JOB SOARING!!!!**
