Happy New Year!

Its been a great start to 2013 in room 108!  

Here are some highlights from the short week.

In readers' workshop, we've started learning about non-fiction:

We started a new science unit: Balance and Motion!  Here are some shots from our first balance experiment using counterweights:




With the new year came piles of snow and chilly temperatures!  A few reminders about winter gear:

-Students can only play in the snow if they have ALL the appropriate gear.
-An extra pair of shoes/slippers to wear in the classroom helps with comfort and keeps our classroom dry.
-We play hard outside!  As a result, we have lots of wet socks.  An extra pair in the backpack is helpful.
-Dressing and undressing for recesses is time consuming!  Please have your child practice doing this independently at home.  Setting a timer  and making it into a game helps them become more efficient!



 Happy New Year!
