Today we took a break from penguins and had a day of small group work and games during math. We will pick up with Penguins again on Monday. There are no "Home Connections" with this unit. Instead, your child will be bringing home an envelope of travel games every Friday. These games will be played both at school and at home so it is important that the envelope comes back on Monday morning with the Friday Folder. For this week's homework I assigned the "Journey to Antarctica" game. The envelope also includes the "Penguins on Board" game. We have not had time to play "Penguins on Board" in school yet, but if your child is confident they understand how to play they may also do this game for homework.
Our field trip to ECHO is planned for Thursday, January 20th. As of now I have only two parents who have volunteered to join us. If you would like to join us we have room for one more parent. Please send me an email if you are interested. Please be sure to pack a lunch for your child on that day as we will be spending the entire day at ECHO and will be eating lunch there.
We are hoping to plan a field trip to Sleepy Hollow sometime in February. We will need a large number of parents who are finger printed to do this field trip. Please send me an email if you have been finger printed and are interested in joining us for this field trip. If we can't gather enough parents, we will probably do some snowshoeing from school instead.
The PTO Red Barn Fundraiser came home today in your child's Friday Folder. If you decide to participate in this fundraiser it is due back on January 21st.
Have a great weekend,
Deb
