VWe will have a low key celebration where the children who want to participate,may purchase or make cards to be distributed on Friday, during morning  work session.  Please do not address cards to specific children ,  however, your child should sign their cards.  Throughout the morning on Friday each child who brings cards will have the opportunity to distribute the cards to their friends.  When the cards are passed out we will enjoy a group snack.  Please do not send in candy or additional treats. 

This past month flew by, in part because we missed so many days of school.  The. Children came back refreshed and ready to work.  

This past month the children explored the Antarctic regions of the South Pole.  We found that there are at least 17 different kinds of penguins.  I think their favorite name is the macaroni penguin.  They also focused on the book called The Mitten, by Jan Brett.  The children retold the story many times using a CETA strategy we learned at the Kennedy Center.  We have also been memorizing The  Mitten Song poem.  The children have been designing their own mittens finishing them off with stitching around the edges to add a little texture.
