We learned all about the winter season this week. We now know that it comes after fall. Some of the things we observed outside, were: it is very cold, the trees have lost their leaves, and the ground is covered with snow.We celebrated winter by reading Snowball, by Lois Ehlert. After reading the book we talked about the different snow people we saw in the book. Each child chose the one they wanted to create. Some of the children chose snow dogs, snow cats, snow moms, and snow girls. The children had so much fun choosing among the various items such as raisins, popcorn, buttons, straw, and yarn. They may have eaten some of the popcorn and raisins while making their project.
We also made "name snowmen" by counting how many letters in each of our names and then writing each letter on a circle. We then added hats, scarves, buttons, and sequins. They look so adorable hanging on our "Snow What Fun" bulletin board.
We would also like to welcome our new classmates, Sally and Sophie. They have both made a wonderful addition to our class.

We are collecting the square Kleenex boxes for a project. We would appreciate if you could bring an empty one to school.
Love,
Ms. Bonne and Ms. Barbara
