Week of Jan. 6-8

We want to wish you a very happy and blessed New Year 2016. Welcome back! Hope your had a great winter holiday!

This is a short (3-day) week, and we will be using our time to start right away with our third quarter.

This week we will begin working and learning about the square. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: napkin, dice, box, block, and cracker.
If you have any items at home that are with the shape of a square, send them over with your child and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Friday, Jan. 15. The kids get excited to bring things from home.

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

Our Nursery Rhyme this week is: “Row Row your boat”

I am attaching you the link of the video of this song we will be learning throughout the week. We will learn two versions of this nursery rhyme. Just a little tip to have fun at home listening and acting out our song.
