Kid, you'll move mountains.

12/13/2016 0 Comments Winter HolidaysThe students have been sharing about winter traditions. What fun ways the kids get to spend the season with their families. Sledding, building snowmen, sipping hot chocolate, lighting the menorah, and decorating the tree are just a few of the many memories the children have shared.
This week and next week we are learning about winter holidays like Hanukkah and Christmas. The students learned about the symbols that represent the Jewish holiday including the menorah, dreidel (we even got to play!), latkes, Star of David, and chocolate gelt. We have written Christmas wish lists, made elves, and are working on some surprises in our study of Christmas. Let me know if your family has any different traditions you’d like the class to include. In our WIN groups, we are diving deeper into number sense and place value. Some students are mastering teens, while others are skip counting to 100 by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s, and others are working on place value to 100. Remember WIN stands for “What I Need.” We use this time to meet students where they are learning and mastering skills. Our Winter party is next Friday from 10:00-11:00. We have some amazing parent volunteers who have been busy elves getting ready! You are welcome to come to the party but please remember that while siblings are welcome, the activities, crafts and snacks are for the kinders. On Thursday, I am taking a personal day and will be out of the building. If there is any important information or schedule changes, please call the room 488-5130 to speak to my sub Angela Hampton or to Kim Scherer. She has been in for me before, so the kids know her well!
