​​Another cold week this past week and another month has gone by. We didn't get to get outside very much this past week because of the extremely cold days. I sure hope it warms up a little next week so the children can enjoy some fresh air and get to play outside. It makes a difference!

In writing, we are going to work on expanding our writing piece by describing things around us. Also, if you could send in a fairly recent picture of your child​ for some writing we are going to do that will help them describe whaat they are doing I would really appreciate it. Please send it in an envelope with my name on it so that I can stash them away and bring them out when it is time to do that writing.

Our new Word Wall words this week are that, than, after, could, would. The words are definitely getting harder but they are ready and are doing great with their reading!

In math, we are working on 1 more and 1 less than a given number. For kindergarten that is from 1 - 10 and for grade 1 that is up to 20. Try to have a conversation with your child or even quiz them when you have a minute to see how they are doing.

By the way, we talked about Groundhog Day today and we watched Shubenacadie Sam a little this morning and I told the children that I would send you the link for the live stream for tomorrow morning if you are interested. So, here it is.

Have a great weekend everyone!
