Bring a Bear to School
We invite your child to bring their Teddy Bears on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. We will have a Teddy Bear picnic to start our Bear Adventure out!
Classroom Bears UPDATE The Bears will start going home next week
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.
Outside Play
We try to play outside unless it is raining and even with the colder weather we will play outside, so please send hats and mittens/gloves with your child if possible. :)
Open House:
Classes will be open for explorations on Monday 1/26, Tuesday 1/27 & Thursday 1/29. In preparation for next year’s registration we encourage you to explore classrooms and meet the teachers.
Registration: In-house (current students) February 4th at 9:15 in Jason Lee. We will have a first come first serve number drawing starting at 8:45. There will be coffee and snacks available for people waiting to register.
Open registration February 6th, 9:15 outside my office.
**For families who register for a PM class, we are asking that they also provide a second choice for a morning class in the case that we have low enrollment for the afternoons.
Sign Up Sheets
We will have new signup sheets out for classroom help. We want you to be connected and involved with our class so here are a few of the ways you can help. We need help with cutting and dye cutting, washing the play clothes, and with recycling.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we are talking all about bears! We will be creating a Bear Den in our classroom and talk about different type of bears (including Teddy Bears). We will have art projects for Brown Bears and Polar Bears. We will do some Gummy Bear sorting and graphing.
Word Wall
The letter of the week for the next two weeks will be Ll. Please help your child bring in an item that begins with the letter L. We will only be sharing items that are related to the letter of the week, so if it’s not obvious please give us hint. J
