Little Blue Bulletin 1/20-1/23

Don't Forget:
  • PSCO community building event--K/1 Cicero Pizza Night will be 1/26-1/28. Bring your coupon to help our school. It came home in yesterday's Thursday Folder.
  • Happy Chinese New Year! Say Gong Xi Fa Cai to your teacher on Monday. It's what Chinese people say on New Year's Day. Use this link to learn the characters too!

What have we done this week:
  • Inauguration Day: On this historic day, we studied President Obama's life and watched the inauguration on TV.
  • Penguin unit: Students studied ocean temperature and wrote statements in their journal. They also made their first penguin board game--Journey to Antarctica and show teamwork while playing with their super friends.
  • In language arts , we continued to use our Step Up to Writing program to write about our friends in class. The students are learning about green - topic sentence, yellow - details, and red - examples. We are also adding transition words to our writing. We are gathering the writing samples each week to send home in a nice book at the end of the year. It will be a great way to measure your child's growth.
  • In science, we continue to study the properties of wood. Question of the week: What happens to wood after sanding it?
Play Update:
This week we continued practicing our songs and dance moves. The speakers are doing a really good job memorizing their lines! Please remind your child to practice speaking parts and songs at home this weekend.

We are still collecting items list below.
  • small camera bags with straps (2)
  • khaki vests (2)
