Field Trip permission forms were sent home today for our next trip to the Music Hall. We are asking for the slips and payment to be returned a little earlier than usual to make things easier on our amazing office staff. We can bring 5 parents with us. I'd like to open it up to parents who haven't been on a field trip with us yet, first. Please let me know if you are interested in attending. The cost for parents is $6, as well.
Readers' Workshop: We are tackling more challenging books in the fish class! Our books have more words and more lines. The children learned how to stack their books from easiest to hardest and read them in that order. This method helps them warm up and work up to the trickier books. We are building persistence! The children are also using patterns to read almost every page. Our patterns are getting more complex and the children are figuring them out and using them to read.
Writers' Workshop: As writers, we are working on telling who is in our story. We tell where the story takes place and tell what is happening. I am loving the skiing, skating and shopping stories the children are writing!
Math Workshop: We continue to play games reviewing skills taught so far this year.
Visual Arts: The children drew winter animals to go along with The Mitten. We also made melting snowmen and have been enjoying playing with the new playdough that was sent in. Thank you!
