This week was a week filled with excitement as we watched the snow fall from the sky! I can’t believe my “Snow” themed lesson plans matched up so perfectly for once! Haha! We learned the science behind snow and created a fun experiment called a “Snowstorm in a jar.” Kids learned why we say a “blanket of snow” covered the ground—ask them why!
Next week, we will celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy AND the 100th Day of school! Remember, there is no school on Monday, so enjoy being snowed in :). With the four day week, we will play many games that reinforce our counting sequence, writing numbers neatly, and counting by 5’s/10’s to get to 100. On Friday, kids have the option to dress like they are 100 years old (Mrs. Thompson and I will be doing this), to dress with a 100-item clothing piece, or to just be themselves!
We will focus on our reading strategy called "STRETCHY SNAKE," by having the kids stretch and say each sound within a tricky word to solve through. This strategy pairs perfectly with writing new words, so we will try to merge the two!
Have a wonderful weekend and stay warm! I would love if anyone would like to send in a picture of their kids enjoying the snow (email or already printed). We could make a nice class book next week. =)
