Happy Groundhog's Day!

We enjoyed watching both Birmingham Bill and Puxatony Phil on our projection screen this morning.  We read a book, Gregory's Shadow, about a groundhog who loses his shadow. After reading the book we watched the videos and then made our own picture of a groundhog coming out of his hole.  Based on our results today I hope Phil is right and Bill is wrong.  We are ready for Spring!!

We have new center groups and are trying a new rotation.  The groups are now made up of three students.  They are then pulled from their center groups to work with me in a small group throughout the week.  So far ir is going well!

New February homework calendars came home with your child yesterday.  Please continue working with your child on thier homework every night.  This gets them in the routine and gives them a chance to show off for you!  They are so proud of what they are learning.  The calendar also has a class list for you to help your child with their Valentines.  We will not have a party, but will exchange Valentines on Monday, February 14th.  I know they will be excited about that.
