Happy New Year!

The most wonderful time of year was in full swing! Thank you to all of you who donated to the food bank this year. It's so nice to  take a moment to give back, especially during the holidays.

A quick note about progress reports...

Although children have mastered many skills since September, there is still a lot of time and a lot of learning ahead of us. The progress report is meant to give you an idea of strengths and goals that we are continuing to work towards. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Onto the festivities.....We had a lot of holiday cheer happening all around us. Here are a few highlights from the weeks leading up to break!


Reader's Theater
We got to enjoy our very first Reader's Theater! This group worked very hard reading aloud the story of  The Elves and the Shoemaker  by Nancy Leber. Before sharing with the class we worked hard on our reading fluency. We practiced reading smoothly, with expression, intonation, and stress. Clink on the link to watch the video!

STEAM
Before vacation we took part in the Hour of Code lead by Mrs. Groden. Children learned about coding and were able to use the app Scratch Junior to create their own code. It was a highly engaging activity!! We hope to do more of this in the future to get children excited about technology and engineering!

Holiday Happenings

Thank you to our wonderful room parents (and volunteers) for another great class party!

Happy New Year!
