January Newsletter
Mrs. Eberts' K Class
Ready to go!
Happy New Year and welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a good holiday and a relaxing break! January always brings a lot of changes in the students and it is always amazing to watch them come into the classroom after the break and see how much they have grown and learned since September!
Are you ready Mrs. Eberts?
Snowhill fun!
Playing together at the very top!
Literacy and Numeracy
Numeracy - This month we will continue to work on patterning and sorting through centers and small group practice. We will continue to build our number sense through games, counting and classroom work. We will also work on problem solving strategies using ten frames, number lines, pictures and breaking numbers apart.

Thank you to all the volunteers in December. We appreciate the help and support in the classroom, especially during such a busy time of year.
Thank you for coming out to the Christmas Concert. The students did an amazing job.
Thank you for all the kind cards, Christmas wishes and presents that came our way. We are truly lucky to be doing what we do! Every year is special meeting new students and families!
The End!
We all play such a big part in our children’s learning and it always helps to do a bit at home. Continue to read to your child daily and talk about what is happening in the story, what was their favorite part, did they like the story or would they change something about it. As well, play games that involve rolling and counting dice, find patterns in clothing or make patterns using a variety of objects. Find letters when you are at the grocery store, rhyme objects while you drive somewhere or are making supper. Cut out items from flyers or magazines. A little bit of time goes a long ways!
Don't forget to dress warm this week! The weather is the chilliest we have seen it and we will be heading out each day to investigate the snow piles!
