Well, another week and another snow day! I must say that even though we have had a few interruptions to our school weeks for the month of January, everyone still have been coming in ready to get back to work! This week we have been discussing penguins and ice. We used our shapes to create paper penguins. We pretended to be daddy penguins protecting a penguin egg (bean bag) on our feet and under our bellies too! We continue to practice our numbers and counting and are doing a great job with letter recognition. We practiced writing and tracing the letter I for icicles. Speaking of icicles, we thought it would be a great idea to be scientists and perform an experiment to see what happens to a liquid when the temperature changes. Our liquid of choice was orange juice and the end product was delicious! We always enjoy any experiment where we get to eat the end results! Please remember that on Tuesday, February 1, 2011, it will be Spirit Day. Please either have your child bring in a stuffed animal or wear school colors. Also, it’s that time of year for chocolates, roses and hearts! The K-Kids will deliver a Sweet Rose Valentine to your little valentine, for just $1. Please have your orders and money in by February 3rd and they will be delivered on February 14th. Thank you for the classroom donations of wipes and tissues! Enjoy your weekend!
