Happy New Year and welcome back!   I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season filled with peace and joy!

January is a busy month in Pre-K A.  We will start off the year learning about snow and ice.  We will build an igloo, paint with ice cubes, experiment with melting ice, and hopefully if the weather permits, bring some snow inside.  There are so many childrens' books written about winter, and we will read the stories of Jan Brett, NIck Butterworth and many others.  We will also do a unit on dinosaurs and celebrate the superbowl and Chinese New Year.

Pre-K conferences will be held on Jan 22-23.  Please contact Mrs. Dulin if you would like a conference.  It's not too late!



Our snowflake reading challenge is happening for the entire month of January.  Every time you read a book with your child, have them write the name on a snowflake, color it, and return it to school.  Let's see how much we can read!
