I hope everyone enjoyed the surprise snow day today, even with the temperatures as cold as they are! The month of February will be a very busy one. Our school is making February "Wellness Month". As part of our participation in this theme, Adventurers will be snowshoeing from school on Friday, February 4th and Friday, February 11th. Please send me an email if you have been finger printed and are interested in joining us on either of those Fridays. We will be snowshoeing from about 1:20 until the end of the school day. The team will be snowshoeing with their Unified Arts Groups and each group will snowshoe one of those Fridays. We are interested in having an indoor option for the other group during that time. We would like to offer Yoga or something else along that line. If you have a skill in some form of exercise that you would like to share with the team, please send me an email! Hmmmmm....why is Zynnia coming to mind????? We will also be doing a wellness unit to go along with these activities and will be learning about healthy choices in all areas of our lives.
The SCS Book Fair will take place during the week of February 7th. I will provide more information about the book fair as we get closer to that event. We will also be having a Valentine exchange on Monday, February 14th. I will send home more information (including a class list) about this event in the near future. Please send me an email if you are interested in providing a healthy treat or drink for our exhange.
We will continue our learning about penguins into February. This week we will be learning about Emperor penguins. This is the sixth kind of penguin we have learned about! We will be making stuffed penguins and end our nonfiction unit of study in literacy with a penguin report. This has been an amazing opporunity to integrate all areas of the curriculum for students and provide them with authentic measuring activities.
