Now that we've been seeing some winter weather, students have been practicing how to put on their own snowsuits, boots, mittens, etc. Should you wish, please feel free to send in spare socks and mittens as we are outside throughout the day and those items tend to become quite wet by home time (if you'd like to also send in a plastic bag to keep in their backpack to transport wet outerwear home in you're more than welcome to!).
We've been starting to explore shapes and where we see them both in the classroom and outside. We've also been using shapes to create pictures and artwork. We know how to sort shapes too!
Our November focus school-wide has been on using our WITS to problem solve and we will continue to support students as they learn different strategies when problem solving.
W=Walk away
I=Ignore
T=Talk it out
S=Seek help
With the Christmas season quickly approaching, we will be discussing Advent and the Christmas Story as well as working on our own Advent wreaths by adding another candle each week and discussing its meaning.
Keep an eye on the mailbags as many updates will be coming home regarding school-wide activities/fundraisers over the month of December.
Just a reminder that there are no classes Dec. 22-Jan. 6 for the Christmas holidays.
