- Everyone did such fantastic work at the Christmas concert! Thank you to everyone for their hard work practicing and preparing!
- In math, we have been working on representing the teen numbers. Our learning target is to recognize that the digit one in 12 means 1 ten. We have been using base ten blocks to make teen numbers. Ask your child what numbers these blocks show:
- We also read The Napping House and made a picture to represent how many feet were in our house.
- In our journals, we used the sentence frame, "In winter, I like ..." Ask your child to share what they like to do in winter.
- We have also started to learn about coding using an app called Scratch Jr. If your child is interested in continuing their coding work at home, it is a free app. More information can be found here: Scratch Jr.
