NO SCHOOL MONDAY,
JANUARY 19, 2015,
IN HONOR OF MLK DAY.
ENJOY YOUR DAY OFF!
Last week, we continued singing, making, and counting snowmen. We also learned about temperature and why a snowman melts, which was a great transition to talking about winter weather. Our Spanish Circle was all about snow and snowmen, as well. The kids are really enjoying our time with Teacher Caroline on Fridays. We had a fire drill last week, and the kids did an amazing job listening and using their "quick and safe feet" to stay in line and get outside. One of the other things we worked on A LOT as a class was sharing and asking for a turn with a toy they really wanted to play with, and listening to each other. They are doing a good job working on being patient with each other. Come on in to class and see our snowman mobiles hanging over our circle table. We also have some awesome torn paper snowmen projects to look at. Thanks again for sharing your children with us!
We have a new classroom friend named Cocoa. Each student will have the opportunity to take Cocoa home for a few days and play with him.
Cocoa will be spending next week in the classroom, getting to know everyone. Then he will start his visits. We will be sending a journal along with him so you can add pictures and write about your time together. 
Word Wall - Letter M
This week we will be focusing on the letter M for mouse, monkey, and moon. Please help your child find something that begins with the letter M if they would like to bring in something for sharing. Thanks!

 
Open House & Classroom Exploring
It's that time of year again! I know most of our Butterfly friends will be moving on to other schools, but if you are interested in our Kindergarten, have younger children, or friends who would be interested in enrolling their children in preschool, mark your calendars for January 26, 27 and 29. We will be holding an open house each day to give families an opportunity to visit, meet teachers, and ask questions. Looking forward to seeing many of our Little Acorn families.
