School Status on Inclement Weather Days

    Since I use Google to host our classroom website, we don't have an Urgent icon on our website if school is delayed, early dismissal, or cancelled.  Here's the link to the page that you can click to check on days that there may be a delay, early dismissal, or cancelation.

Recess During Winter Time



  • Students may play in the snow during recess if they have full snow gear - boots, gloves, and snow pants.  If they do not have all of these things, they can still go out, but will only be able to stay on the pavement.  Occasionally we get out the sled and let students sled down the hill during recess also.

It's Snow Much Fun in K!


In Math this week we did a snowman glyph project.  We colored different parts of our snowman based on these questions...
  • Are you a boy or a girl?
  • Do you like winter?
  • Do you like to play in the snow?
  • Do you have a sled?
  • Do you have a snowman in your yard right now?

Reminders for Friday This Week


  • Please remember to send in a pair of mittens (gloves works too).  Students may use what ever they wear to school of course.  We will be using them for a Math activity in the afternoon (going along with all the different versions of "The Mitten" that we've read so far.)
  • The K Team will be running tomorrow's Coffee Hour (from 9-10) with a focus on helping your child learn to read at home.  
  • Today, we cleaned out our Writing Workshop folders of ALL stories - finished and not finished.  I found many students who thought their stories were done, but skipped a page or forgot to add words on other pages.  You may go through them and decided if you would like to keep them.  With it being the new year, the students will be expected to have more color and details in their pictures and writing.
