January Highlights!

What a busy beautiful January we are having. The weather warmed up enough to have a couple of fantastic sledding days and we are hoping for more of that to come. When we weren't out in the winter weather we were inside imagining ourselves in a tropical place as we all dressed up for our school's tropical day! Just pretending for a day made our month a little bit brighter. Next came our visit from Peter Rabbit from the John Janzen Nature Center. He planned super fun activities for us and taught us all about hibernation, migration and camouflage. The students got to dress up in animal costumes as well. The best part of the presentation was looking at and touching real animal fur from different animals. The bear claws were scary to some! As far as academics go the students are working hard in learning their sounds with jolly phonics and next month we will concentrate on printing our letters as well.
