Hello, families!
Brrrr!!!!!  It certainly feels like winter!  Thanks for making sure we have nice warm clothes for recess!

We spent our chilly week writing nonfiction chapter books; learning how to make snowflakes and reflecting on the challenges/solutions for that STEM activity; hosting Mrs. Koutalakis, our Mystery Reader; walking up to the high school to practice for Monday's concert; estimating and doing some graphing work in Math; and continuing to practice our reading!

Next week will be realllly busy!  It will be WPS Spirit Week!

Monday: Movement Day (and our concert that evening)...we'll have some extra motor breaks :)

Tuesday: Radiant Reading...I will have a "bright" surprise for the kids to enjoy during our reading time!

Wednesday: Holiday Sock Day...I am extending this for our class to be Holiday Hat day as well
                     Project Day-please be sure to send in a smock/old shirt, if your child does not already
                                         have one here :)

Thursday: Ugly Sweater Day...I am extending this for our class to be Holiday Wear in general

Friday:  Pajama Day...with a surprise after lunch :)

πŸŽ„Please don’t feel that you have to go out and buy special clothes for Spirit Week! We can find ways for your first grader to participate. πŸŽ…πŸ»

Have an awesome weekend! I have a lot of wrapping to do, which I actually enjoy 🎁 . I hope your holiday preparations are fun for your family, too!
