Dear
Parents,
We
have had a very productive week this week. We were able to finish up our unit on plants and animals on
Thursday, have practiced our multiplication facts in a variety of ways, learned
about line plots, and finally have done some writing and grammar work. All in all, a full and active week of
learning. We also were able to
read the book Snowflake Bentley and learned how Wilson Bentley taught
himself to photograph snowflakes and capture their unique beauty. We then
enjoyed making our own unique snowflakes.
It was a nice way to celebrate the few flakes that fell on Thursday
afternoon.
Last week I mentioned our annual visit from
the London Brass Rubbing Centre on Monday, December 22nd. This program will begin at 9:30
with a 30-minute explanation of the art of brass rubbing and who would have had
a rubbing made for them. From
10-12:00 pm all the children will have an opportunity to make their rubbing as
well as complete several other craft projects. I appreciate the offers I have gotten to lend a hand that
morning. We can always use more
hands if you would like to help out for all or part of this special
project. Just let me know. Please also remember to send in
the $7.00 fee as soon as possible.
I
would like to end this week’s note with a reminder to have your children dress
appropriately for the weather.
This time of year this includes wearing coats, hat and having a pair of
mittens or gloves. The children do
go out everyday and we want them to be warm as they play outside. If you child is missing any of their
outerwear, please check the lost and found.
I hope you all have a nice weekend.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
DiNardo
