This Wednesday, kindergarten, first and second grades will use a portion of the day for unstructured play time, taking part in Global School Play Day. We will begin by explaining the expectations for both students and teachers so that it’s a safe, fair and fun time for all. We will put out activities to begin and will occasionally come back together as a class to discuss how things are going, review the expectations and then resume. It is optional for your child to bring in a board or card game for this day, and anything that is sent in should be labeled. To help us plan, please let us know in advance if your child would like to bring in a game and what it is.

Last Thursday, we began learning some of the songs for recorder, voice and dance to prepare us for our field trip to the Flynn in March in which the audience is part of the show. This is part of the Carnegie Hall Link Up program. Make sure recorders are returned to school each week! We'll be working on the songs in the classroom as well as in music class.
This Friday, barring any freak snowstorms, will be the 100th Day of School! This is a day kids really look forward to. In second grade, we look at what happens when we count by 10s for each of the 100 days (getting up to 1,000). We are looking forward to seeing all the creative 100th Day projects on Friday that will be displayed throughout the primary grade classrooms. If you need any help or have any questions about this project, please let us know.
Last week, we began our measurement unit by using a teacher's foot and a giant's foot to measure things. We then started to measure with inches and feet--standard units of measure. This week, we'll continue to focus on inches and feet and will also learn about yards. During our Number Corner time in February, we'll be working on mastering addition facts up to 20, looking at models of two digit addition, exploring flags and story problems from around the world, and doing activities focused on learning how to tell time.
