Happy New Year! Welcome back to school!

We welcomed a new student, Lainee, to our class this week. The children have been so helpful showing Lainee what we do in school each day and helping her feel comfortable with us.

January kicked off our unit on Winter Weather and Snow. The children had a chance to see a lot of it over break and had stories to share about what they did in the snow. We traced the letter “S” and made a story about “The Five Little Snowmen” and made snow paintings.

We practiced writing our names this week for the first time, and the children did an awesome job! We traced the letters first, and then practiced copying them from our name tags.

Take time with your children to help them zip their own coats, put on hats and mittens or gloves. We take the time to do this every morning at dismissal, and most of the children are now independent with these skills. Keep practicing at home, too!

Thank you so much for all of the donations of wipes and tissues- we are certainly putting them to good use!

Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Remaly
