January 5-8

 

We are all glad to be back at school after a wonderful Christmas break.  Thanks to all who helped to make our Christmas party so special, and thanks to Isley’s grandmother for providing the treat bags for both classes.

 

In Nature/Science, we will read Winter and talk about the seasons.  We will also read about Sharks and create a sculpture of a shark.

 

In Phonics/Language we will read Happy Birthday by Dr. Seuss and practice identifying rhyming words.  We will also practice Narration with “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” from The Original Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm.  We will also begin to recite “The Snowflake” by Walter de la Mare.

In Music/Art, we will learn to sing “A Fox Went Out On A Chilly Night”

(a folk song) along with the book. The children will work on creating Snowflakes to display in the hall. They will also make Happy New Year glasses.

 

In History we will read about the life of Milton Hershey.

 

In Math, we will practice counting and grouping, and addition and subtraction with Hershey’s kisses.

 

 In Bible we will read about the Good Samaritan and talk about what it means to be good to others.  The children will practice doing good to others in class and discuss their experiences in circle.
