Dear Parents,
Snow much fun!  Last week we started our unit on snowmen.  The children had a lot of fun making snowman salad.  Some of the other activities we did last week included a snowman glyph, a sight word snowball fight, and a snowman windsock.  We will wrap up our study of snowmen this week. 

I will be sending home our rhyming literacy bag this week.  Please only keep the bag for one or two nights.  I hope that your family will enjoy the activities in this bag.  
  
Winter has definitely arrived and so has coat season!  Please take a few minutes to write your child’s name inside all coats and hoodies.  Remember the “lunch bunch” goes outside for recess daily so a coat is very necessary when the weather is chilly.    

Word of the Week

Students will be learning the sight word “can”.  

Letters of the Week

Monday: V v
Wednesday: Ww
Friday: Xx
Students will learn to identify upper and lower case letters, the sound for each and be able to write the letter using the correct formation. 

Math

This week in our math center students will practice counting snowflakes to twenty and place the numbers 1-30 in the correct sequence. 

Parent Connection

It is so exciting to see all the children reading!  The children are doing GREAT!!!  Thanks for all your help.
