Yay for Snow!

Good Afternoon!

Finally a little bit of snow to play in!  We sure had a great time at recess.  Many friends worked together to make snowmen and snow-monsters!

This morning we searched for the -an chunk in our paper decodable readers.  We also brainstormed other words that are in the -an word family.

During math, we talked about the subtraction symbol and used a subtraction stick to move counters off of our math mats to show how we subtracted.  Try asking your child some concrete subtraction number stories at dinner tonight!  "How many chicken nuggets will be left if you eat two more?"

This afternoon we worked with sawdust and wood shavings.  We explored different properties and even soaked them in a cup of water.  We learned that when wood gets water logged, it no longer floats!

On Friday last week, we celebrated Daniel's 1/2 Birthday!

Ellie was the kindergarten AR winner last week!

We also watched the San Diego Zoo Panda Cam and wrote about actions the pandas were doing. (So, we used verbs in our writing!)


I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are able to spend a little bit of time outside in the snow with your child!

Love,
Mrs. Huettl
