Happy New Year!
FYI from the Lunchroom
If your child buys lunch or milk, you can send in a larger sum of money all at once ($5-10). We will apply it to your account and each time your student buys milk or lunch it will be deducted from that amount. If you choose this method, you won't have to send money in each day that your child is buying lunch/milk.
Supplies
The second quarter is coming to a close soon, and we are in need of a few supplies for our classrooms. If you would like to donate LARGE ziploc bags, tissues or baby wipes we would greatly appreciate your generosity! Thank you!
Cultural Heritage Project
The cultural heritage projects were amazing! Thank you for sharing your culture with our class. We learned so much about various countries (Germany, Italy, China, Ireland, Hungary, Ukraine, Costa Rica, France, Poland, and more!) around the world. The children really enjoyed learning about the foods, flags, clothing, and watching videos of the different types of dance. We hope that your child shared something they learned with you.
Winter Clothes
Winter is here and so is the snow! Please pack an extra pair of gloves and socks in your child's backpack in case they get wet. Also, if you would like to keep an extra pair of pants and socks at school, please send them in a large ziploc bag with your child's name on it. We will keep them in our classroom in case your child gets wet at recess and needs to change. Thank you!
Language Arts
For the next two weeks, we will be learning about Antarctica through a non-fiction story called If You Could Go to Antarctica. We will learn about the plants and animals that live there and other interesting facts. Please ask your child what they know about Antarctica. We will also be using the facts that we learned in our writing to persuade someone to travel to Antarctica. Would you like to go?
Please make sure you send back the book in a bag EVERY day so that your child can choose a new one at his/her level. Some children bring home the guided reading book and those MUST be returned the next day.
Please continue to work on the letter and sound fluency practice pages. These are the pages where the children need to say the name of the letter or the sound of the letter in a minute. We will be doing our winter benchmarking in the middle of January. The benchmark for Letter Naming is 40. The benchmark for Letter Sounds is 27 in a minute.
Math
We will continue to practice the activities and skills from previous weeks. Please continue to practice the addition and subtraction flashcards to 5.

Cultural Heritage Project
Please remember that your project is due by Monday, December 16 so that we can present them to the class that week. We have already begun to share some of the ones that have been turned in. The kids have really enjoyed learning about each country, finding them on the map, and comparing/contrasting them. It has been exciting to see the children share their knowledge with their peers and answer questions about their heritage. What a rich learning experience!
