As if right on cue, Mother Nature really delivered in kicking off our Weather STEAM Unit! This week we observed almost every type of weather that we will be studying! Although the weather outside was quite unpredictable, PreK-3 was sunny and delightful all week long! (Please refer to the photos above!) We also began learning about Wind as well and will continue to this week with some fun Windy Experiments that will be sure to "blow everyone away!!"
Letter Kk was lots of fun to learn about. Kicking, Karate, Kangaroos, Kings and Kites were a few of our highlights! Letter Ll will be equally exciting this week! We will also be doing some marshmallow math and science as well as learning all about snow. It's going to be a fun and busy week!
The Little Gym: Sign up forms went home this week. If you are interested in having your child participate in this after school gym time offered right here at St Therese, please return your forms to school as soon as possible.
PreK-3 Artwork on Loan: Our adorable hedgehogs are now on display at the Roxbury Public Library in the Children's Section through the month of January. We worked with the PreK-4 Class to mount a fabulous display featuring one of our January themes - Hibernation. Be sure to stop over and check it out! Look for your child's initials on the bottom of their craft.
PreK Parent/Teacher Conferences: I'm looking forward to discussing your child's progress with you. Everyone should have received a conference time through your child's folder. Please sign and return the bottom portion of the slip. If you need to reschedule, please reach out to me as soon as possible so we can come up with a new time.
