It's Cold Outside

Good Afternoon,

I'm looking at the clock and thinking, "I have to go get my girls from daycare."  Then, I am looking outside and thinking, "I think I'll spend the night here!"  So, I'll procrastinate with a blog post and then head for home :)

This morning we re-read the story, Little Quack.  We also talked about the word, plot.  The plot of the story is what happens in the beginning, middle and end.  Ask your child to tell you about the plot of Little Quack.  We also talked about what the plot would entail if we were to write a story about getting ready for bed!  With February and dental health month beginning tomorrow it was refreshing to hear how many children mentioned teet brushing and "fleecing" (flossing)!

We had SMART time today.  It was good that we got the time to move, since there was no outside recess today.

In math, we went "fishing" for attributes of our classmates.  We had blonde hair fish, striped shirt fish, hooded shirt fish, rainbow fish, boots fish, etc.

We also solved some number stories on our white board and even did a beginning division problem!

This afternoon we started a project for Groundhogs Day, which is coming up on Saturday.  We talked about the Groundhog seeing his shadow and drew pictures of ourselves in the winter and in the spring. Tomorrow we will make the groundhog part of this project!


Tomorrow is our all-kindergarten Wood Day!  We have three fun wood-related projects for the kiddos to work on throughout the morning!  It's going to be an exciting day!

Stay Warm!

Love,
Mrs. Huettl
