Hello Families,

This week is straight forward, although short.  Yesterday, the teachers learned how to structure recess to be healthier, more inclusive, and more fun for all.  It will take a little time for us to implement some of the strategies but the information was inspiring.

The only real highlights are:  using last week’s homemade dough to make pizzas on Thursday, examining up close and personal our terrarium friends the pill bugs and earthworms, and viewing more of the amazing Planet Earth series to further our understanding of habitats.  Other than this, regular stuff!

We may be literally walking across the street at the end of the week or early next week to get a personal tour of a house under construction.  Marina’s father can show us what a house looks like inside without the sheet rock installed.  We’ll see everything exposed.  For this, I will send home a “walking permission slip” this week.  

February book orders can be done online.  Order forms will go home tomorrow.  The computer deadline is February 12.

Have a good week!
