As part of our daily Math, we have been counting the days of the school year (Time Line). We have been learning to count by 1, 5's, 10's, and 100's. Thursday, February 5th, happens to be the "100th Days of School". We will be celebrating on this day. I'm asking that each child prepare a "100 Collection" at home. The collection should be prepared in such a way so the pieces are easily visible for counting. Some ideas are pennies, clips, pencils, marbles, shells, etc.!

During the last few days, we have been reading the story of "Charlotte's Web". In addition to our "100 Days" celebrations, we will be "taking the day off", and watching the movie of this fascination story. The children will come in their pajamas and bring a blanket (send extra clothes for afterwards). A list of food will be posted if you would like to contribute.

This month we continue learning about the Human Body and Dental Care. As part of this unit, the class is going on a field trip to the Dentist, Dr. Wiley, on Friday, January 23rd. We will leave at 10:30. The office is located at 2879 Willow Pass Road. This is a walking field trip.

We continue making great progress in Math and Language.

Our Valentine's Day Celebration will be on Friday, February 13th. Children are welcome to bring Valentine cards for their classmates. (14 children in our class).

Thank you for your continued support.
