Week of January 9-13

This week we are looking forward to things getting back to normal.  We were low on numbers last week, and we missed all our preschoolers who were on vacation or with their families.  We can't wait to see you again!


Our curriculum this week continues to be frosty!  We will be learning all about the Inuit people and their culture.  We're especially looking forward to building sugar cube igloos, and to bundling up as we pretend to be eskimos right here in our classroom.  Our other curriculum is as follows:


Social Studies: The Inuit people 

Science: Sense of Taste

Math: Number 11

Literacy: The letter V

Shape of the month: Diamond

Color of the month: Blue

Spanish: Marketplace vocabulary

Show and Tell: My Favorite Vegetable

Please remember to dress your child appropriately for outdoor recess.  Although we are anticipating a mostly warm week, it's good to be prepared just in case it gets chilly!
