Week of 1/11/10 - 1/15/10

THEME: WINTER WONDERLAND

Yes, I know we've all probably had enough of this theme to last awhile! This week we will pretend to play in the snow in Dramatic Play, we will search for white items hidden in packing peanuts in the sensory table, and we will compare sugar and salt and will do a simple experiment picking up an ice cube on a string using salt to make it stick. We will make a snowy day in the woods picture in Art and we will learn some fun facts about penguins. We will also learn about the letter S. And in Religion we will talk about sharing good news like the shepherds did when Jesus was born.

***Important Schedule Change: We WILL have school on February 22 and 23 as the Kindergarten Testing previously scheduled for those days has now been moved to several Saturdays. See the Wednesday packet for more info.
