Update from Ms. R

A big "thank you" to all the families for coming in for parent-teacher interviews this week. It was wonderful to talk with you about your child's work in our classroom. Room 222 has an amazing group of children this year and we are having a lot of fun learning together!

The homework for this week is to write a FICTION story, in the homework writing journal, about the pillow your child finished this week. Some ideas from the class were: a magic pillow, a superhero pillow or the pillow works in an ice cream store! There is also a math worksheet reviewing analog to digital and digital to analog times to the hour and half-hour. This homework is due on Friday, November 23rd.

Parent Notes

1. The cold weather has arrived! Please make sure that your child arrives at school prepared to spend time outside. The children spend three separate times outside each day. There are two 15 minute recess periods, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. There is also one 30 minute period after lunch. All children are expected to go outside. Each child needs winter boots,  a winter jacket, a hat, a scarf and gloves or mittens. On colder and more snowy days, snow pants are also recommended. Please put your child's name on all his/her belongings. Many children have the same jacket or hat as other children and the name tags help to make sure that lost items are returned.

2. Extra clothes - Sometimes your child's socks and mittens can get wet after playing outside. Please tuck a fresh pair of socks and mittens in your child's backpack so they can change them if needed. Also, our classroom is quite cool, so a sweater or hoodie is also a good idea to have at school as well.
