Well… we definitely got a taste of winter this weekend. We like snow, but 6 degrees is a little too cold. We will continue with the concepts from last week’s newsletter. We did not finish learning about those concepts due to the weather and school closure. PLEASE …We still need a seasonal change of clothes for many of the students. Please send in as soon as possible. The children sometimes spill drinks on themselves or get wet on the playground. This month we will make a New Year’s Resolution, learn about Martin Luther King Jr. and
Energy.
Message: Due to the weather Lulu, our class pet (stuffed animal) and travel journal, did not go home with Lucas on Friday, so we will send Lulu home today with Lucas and another student on Friday. We are very excited to hear about Lulu’s adventures with Lucas.
