It just occurred to me that I didn't formally thank the class for my wonderful Christmas present! I hope you know it has nothing to do with appreciation and everything to do with a very busy schedule! You were very generous and it was greatly appreciated!!
On Thursday, I read the class a new Jan Brett book called The Three Little Dassies. It is similar to the story of the three little pigs. Please ask your child about the similarities and differences. January's author of the month will be Jan Brett, again. The class voted to keep her as our author one more month since there were still so many books left to read. We will change authors next month.
It's project time! The class learned how to write a diamond poem today. Their assignment is to write or type a diamond poem using the format sent home. The poem should also be illustrated. The project is due on January 24th. Please do not send in projects early. If you need a piece of construction paper, please let me know. Have fun!
