- A complete change of weather appropriate clothing. Please include several extra pairs of socks during the winter. (Snow tends to get in their boots.)
- A sweater or sweatshirt (for temperature changes in our classroom)
- Hat,mittens,boots and snow pants. (We go outside if it is over 20 degrees.)
- Be sure your child wears or brings athletic shoes to school every day. They are needed for riding bikes and playing in the large motor room.
- Full day children need to remember to bring a blanket every week.
The letters we will be working on during January are: S, J, D, P.
We will also begin our Number 4 booklets.
DON'T FORGET TO BRING A SMALL PICTURE OF SOMETHING THAT BEGINS WITH THE LETTER OF THE WEEK. This is homework that we expect every child to do for each letter.
Our first theme when we return will be "Winter Fun". During January we will also be learning about polar regions and penguins.
We will be having our 100th Day Celebration in January. This will involve a project to be done at home. Watch for further information about the project.
The children will begin having turns being the "Star of the Week" when we return from break.
Our marble jar is almost full. The children are working toward a pajama and movie day. They have chosen "Frozen" as the movie. If anyone has the DVD that we could borrow when the time comes please let us know.
