Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!
It was so nice to see all of the smiling faces this morning.  It sounds like everyone had a really nice break, I heard ALL about it!  
We had a pretty low key day today.  We had lots of time to talk and reconnect with each other.  We started talking and learning about animals in winter.  We did some journal writing/drawing and we got outside for some time in the gorgeous (but cold) sunny day.  

Here we are working on our journals.  I am encouraging the kids to add details that show information in their pictures, using colours that make sense.  I am also challenging the kids to think about a word that they would like to write and to listen to the sounds that they hear in that word and try to print the corresponding letter(s).  You'll also notice, in the pictures below, that we have new table groups.  





We also have a new friend in our classroom.  We are so happy to have him in our class.  Many of the kids in the class were excited to help our new friend learn classroom routines.  

Tomorrow is L sharing day.  Please help your child find an item to bring from home that begins with the letter L.  

We will also have our first tennis lesson tomorrow.  Please send running shoes.
