The homework for this week is that there is NO homework. However, the children promised that they will READ each day over the holidays.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the Room 222 families a safe and happy winter holiday and best wishes for a wonderful 2019!
Parent Notes:
The holidays are a great opportunity to play games and create!
Children love to play board games like Snakes and Ladders, Trouble, checkers and chess.The students this week were each given a pack of standard playing cards and now know how to use playing cards to do a magic trick and to play the game "Go Fish". Other card games like Crazy Eights and Snap are also suitable for children. Rules for these games can be easily found on the internet. Cards can also be used to build card towers!
Children also love to make stuff! Give a child some old cracker or tissue boxes and some tape, a pair of scissors and markers and they will create something special. It may be a house for a stuffie, a rocket ship or a magic castle. Encourage your child to tell you about their creation and how they solved a problem engineering a door, for example. They may even want to write a fiction story using what they made in the story. Sometimes creativity just needs an opportunity...
Important Dates:
December 22 - January 6 - Winter Holidays
