Maternity Leave

I will be returning to the classroom during the first week in April.

Nicholas David Langdon was born at 7:55 a.m. on Feb. 15th.  He was 3 1/2 weeks early and weighed 6lbs 13oz.  The Langdon family is doing very well and we are enjoying our time together.

 

Week of Jan. 30th

This week our theme continued to be ‘Dinosaurs’.  On Monday and Tuesday we enjoyed our field trip to the Broadway Theater to see Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs!  We also made a classroom book about dinosaurs and created a dinosaur’s skeleton. We reviewed the numbers 7 & 8 and our letter for the week was Oo.

Next week our theme will be ‘Valentine’s Day’.  We will be making several items out of hearts including a butterfly, a ladybug and a panda bear!  The children will continue to work on number identification, matching, graphing and patterns. Our letter for the week will be Vv and we will review the numbers 9 & 10.  Please remember that your child can bring in their Valentine’s Day cards at any time before our party.  (If you choose to send a treat for the party is should be wrapped).
