Just a Note
Welcome Back!! I hope everyone had a wonderful break and were able to spend a lot of time with loved ones!! We want to thank you all so much for thinking of us at Christmas and tell you how much we appreciate your thoughtful gifts that you shared with us.
Classroom Bears
We will have classroom bears that will be going home with the children. During this week the bears will be hanging out in our class and starting next week the bears will go home with the children for one week at a time. We will draw names and go in that order. The bear comes with a journal which we will start in class and then you can document your week with the bear. At the end of the year these journal pages will be placed in their portfolio.
Sign Up Sheets
We will have two signup sheets out that need your attention. One is for our upcoming Family Night, we just need to know how many to plan for. The other is for our upcoming Field Trip so we can reserve seats for everyone that wants to attend. It is at the Portland Children’s Theater for Good Night Moon on Feb 12th. We will need payment later this month.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we are exploring winter, we will start off by letting the children tell us about winter and go from there. We have several great books that we will read On a Winter’s Day, Footprints in the Snow, and What Snowmen do at night. We will create some snowy art, paint with ice or maybe hot coco and we will end the week with a “snow ball fight”. We have some fake snow that we will be experimenting with and we will also be doing some icy art and talking about what happens to water in the cold.
Word Wall
The letter of the week for the next two weeks will be Dd.

This week’s songs in the Dragonfly Class
I’m a little Snowman
I’m a little snowman,
Short and fat.
Here is my scarf.
Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out.
I’ve got to go!
But I’ll be back
The next time it snows.
Upcoming Theme
Snowmen
Thank you for sharing your lives with us!
