Hi Parents,

Here is what we did today!

We had library. We did ST Math on the computers and we got a new book. (Elizabeth)

We did read aloud and we read Peter’s Chair. (Nick)

We did our The Snowy Day book. We wrote “Next Peter hit a tree with a stick”. (Yahna)

We made it to 100 Cougar Compliments. (Kiernan)

We did Fundations. We did our white boards. We practiced writing qu and z. (Lexi)

We did counselor. We talked about our brains. When you do easy things your brain sleeps but when you do hard things your brain grows. (Sophia)

We did math. For math, we used the balance. We weighed scissors, a pencil, a crayon, and an eraser. We used snap cubes. (Mila)

We did Daily 5. We did once choice. It had to be different from Monday and different from Tuesday. (Sophia)

We did closing meeting and snack. (Abigail)

Our class earned another set of 100 Cougar Compliments! To celebrate, the class voted to have an electronic party or a “Bring Your Favorite Toy to School” party! We will be doing this on Friday, January 13th! Each student is allowed to bring one small toy to school this day. This could be a small bag of legos or blocks, an action figure, a doll, stuffed animal, toy car, etc. No toy weapons please! Students are allowed to bring an electronic toy (such as a DS or small tablet) as long as the sound can be turned off or headphones can be plugged in. Please make sure it is fully charged or has new batteries. Please do not send valuable electronic toys because these toys will be unsupervised at times (recess, specials, etc.) Students will have the opportunity to play with these items at specific points in the school day. They will only be allowed to play with the toy in the classroom setting (not bus line, etc.) Please let me know if you have any questions!

The 100th Day of School is quickly approaching! On this day, each student will create his/her own special snack of with 100 pieces of food (like a trail mix).  For this special snack, we would like to ask for donations of the following:  pretzels, cereal (like cheerios/fruit loops), M&Ms, raisins or other dried fruit, mini marshmallows, goldfish or cheese-it crackers, animal crackers, teddy grahams, etc. Please make sure whatever you bring has at least 220 pieces (for 22 kids – 10 each). Thank you!
