New Theme/Study: Buildings
We are excited to be starting our new theme all about buildings. We will be learning about different types of structures, building materials, and tools. Please take the opportunity to discuss these things with your child at home and when you are out and about on the town.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
In celebration of Dr. King, we will not have school on Monday the 20th of January. (There will also be no school on Friday the 17th for a teacher work day). We will be having some class discussions and reading some children's books about Dr. King. This is a great opportunity to have follow up conversations at home about the impact that he had on our society and country.
PALS Testing
We will soon begin the winter PALS assessment. This will be a great indicator of the growth your children have been experiencing. We will also use this information to alter our teaching focus as needed to address the kids' needs. As soon as we complete the assessment we will share the results with you.
