Happy New Year!

Theme of the week Cold Climates

Star Student of the week, was Leah. The hit of being the star student is feeding
Sparkle. Leah has also loved being the line leader. The class has really enjoyed
her great leadership!

Writing/Literacy - The letters of the week are Cc, Uu and Zz. While learning the
sounds and other words that start with the letters of the week, we read
Umbrellabird's Umbrella. The class has also worked on their zigzag and crisscross strokes.  The class also worked on familiar rhymes, poems and songs while finishing with the correct rhyming word. They also assumed different role/perspective and expressed the different possibilities, if it imaginary or realistic.

Reading - The class really enjoyed listening to the books, White Snow Bright Snow, The First Day of Winter, Happy Feet and Where Polar Animals Live.

Art - Cold Climates really caught the classes attention.  We have learned how much
they enjoy the snow and talking about the snow. During art this week, the class
painted, discussed their art piece of their choice and told the story and details behind it.  The class made really neat projects. They each created a 3D snowman, sugar cube igloos, cold climates scene and a warm winter hat.

Social Studies - The class talked and learned about where in the world it is cold. They talked about and learned the different temperatures of the mountain, jungle, and an island by creating a temperature chart.

Math - The class learned about dividing and how to divide an object into approximate equal pieces for two people, while working on even and odds numbers and what makes them even or odd. Also, the class named and match numerals 1-10 with corresponding quantities.
