January 11th Edition of
The K/1 Class News
Welcome back Everyone!
I hope you all had a good holiday and are ready for a great new term. The kids are quickly readjusting to the routines and expectations of the classroom and are likely pretty tired out after our days!
On Monday the students were very excited to be back at school. It is always nice to reconnect with friends and get back into routine. Please ask your child if they have extra clothes left at school as my supply of spares has mostly been leant out. Thanks to those of you who have washed and returned borrowed items. It is VERY wet in our forest and kids often get splashed or trip and need to change.
This week we learned about the difference between deciduous and evergreen trees. We also made bird feeders and hung them around the forest.
In math, the focus has been on one more and one less plus general number sense.
We continue to work on reading and writing and have had a focus on learning rhyming, isolating the beginning sound and _at words.
Next week is ‘Nn’ week for Show and Tell.
It was a great first week back. I hope you enjoy your weekend. Perhaps there will be snow!
