We had lots of fun playing in the snow today out at recess!  Thank you for sending your child to school with snow clothes so s/he could play

Don’t forget…the Kindergarten Breakfast is next Friday, January 27th at 8:30 in the cafeteria. Hope to see you there!

We have begun working on addition, with the aid of manipulatives. I have been giving the children a number problem, such as “Start with 3 pennies. Add 2 more pennies. How many pennies do you have all together?” Today we also tried writing number sentences. Children are growing familiar with the symbols and vocabulary of “plus” and “equals”. Try challenging your child to some addition problems at home!
