KC Newsletter
January 4, 2013
We have had a wonderful start to the new year! The girls seem so happy to be back together and ready to embrace new academic challenges.
January begins with a study of snow! We will spend some time thinking about what winter means to us, before we dive into our lengthy Animals in Winter research unit. More detailed information on our research process will be in next week’s folder.
Did you know that all snowflakes have six points, but no two snowflakes are alike? To demonatrate our new scientific knowledge, we have all mde six pointed snowflakes with pipe cleaners and beads. Now we can make it snow right in the classroom!
For a tasty introduction into addition and subtraction, we have opened up our “snack store.” Once a week, the girls will use bear counters as money and be able to “buy” their snack. The storekeepers (KC girls) will rotate and I will help to keep the math exchange correct. My favorite part about snack store: everyone is so busy shopping that they do not even realize that they are doing math!
The week of January 7th starts on Day 2.
