Dear Families,
We had an awesome two weeks learning all about the Winter Olympics! The students worked hard to learn all the vocabulary and had fun experiencing some of the sports. Our highlights were seeing Paul, the cross-country skier exhibit some of his skills, and our culminating activity of bobsledding/luge on the snow mountains near our school!

Week 2 Winter Olympics
Hello Families!
Wow! We had a great week last week as we went skating into the theme of Winter Olympics! The students were very enthusiastic and enjoyed making flags, and watching the teachers act out a skit!
A big thank you to all the parents who made us a delicious lunch on Friday and spoiled us so! It was such a fun and enjoyable way to end the week! My Luge experience with most of the kids pushing me to the finish line was a cool experience!
This week we will continue to explore the Olympics with some new activities.
Here is a Peek at the Week
Monday- We will have fun making some Olympic medals. Gold, Silver, or Bronze!
In my opinion all the students are first place winners!
Tuesday- We will have a Special Visitor! Erika O.'s husband is a cross-country skier and will come to show off some of his skills.
Wednesday- On your Mark, Get set, Go! We will have fun doing some speed skating in the Gym!
Thursday- Yum! We will make some Olympic treats! Popsicles and Snow cones!
Friday- Hang on! We will go outside for some Bobsledding down our snow mountain! Please make sure that your child wears boots, and snow pants as it may be sloppy and wet!
We will continue with the vocab. from last week.
Show and Tell
Please have your child bring in anything that pertains to the theme.
Please bring in a plastic sled this week as we will take advantage of the nice weather and play outside. You can send your student with a play snow shovel to dig in the snow. Thanks for all you do!

Nursery Rhymes Week 2
Dear Families,
Last week, the students really enjoyed our theme. The rhymes are allowing for some fun, as well as helping with auditory memory. The children are putting together a book of their own which will be sent home after this week. We will continue with the theme as we explore some new rhymes as well as review the ones from last week.
Here is a Peek of Week 2
Monday: Review Mary had a Little Lamb, Jack be Nimble, and Little Miss Muffet.
Tuesday: Read Humpty Dumpty and make a page for their books.
Wednesday: Make an egg omelet.
Thursday: Learn the rhyme, " I'm a Little Teapot" and make a page for their books.
Friday: We will have a fun time having a tea party! Girls can come dressed in hats and gloves if they choose to do so! Boys can dress up too! (special hats and ties!)
Show and Tell:
We will continue to read a variety of Nursery Rhymes so I have appreciated books from home as well as other items that go along with our theme. If you have a pretend tea set at home, this would be great to share! Also, have your child bring in their favorite stuffed animal or doll for the tea party on Friday. If your child does not have an item that pertains to the theme, another good item to share is a favorite game to share with friends as the interacting of game playing promotes great conversational skills!
Vocabulary will be the same from last week.
