Weekly Theme

Week of: January 4th, 2010

Theme:  Winter

     Happy New Year!  As we begin to learn about winter, we will read the 
book The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats along with many other snow related 
books.  We will be going outside (when weather allows and is above 35 
degrees) to have snow ball fights with Miss Dawn's class (our neighbor) and 
go for winter walks.  Any winter clothing you send in with your child will be 
put on for our outings- please send in extra sneakers if your child is 
wearing snow boots for PT days.  We will sing many songs such as 'Winter 
Wonderland' and 'Jackets, Mittens, Hats and Boots' to the tune of 'Head, 
Shoulders, Knees and Toes'.
    We will review concepts begun in Decemeber such as winter clothing, 
attributes of winter weather such as cold, snow, ice, freezing, and ways to 
warm up including hot cocoa, warm baths and changing into different clothes 
with blankets once we get indoors.  This theme will last for the next 6 weeks 
to allow for ample time to concretely learn these core concepts.
