2 / 3 Green January Newsletter

12/1/2016

New and Old

• Just like that, December has come to an end and we are on to the new year. I hope everyone had a wonderful break and was able to spend time with family and friends.
• This past month we introduced a “dramatic play” option for choice time which will allow the kids to dress up and create scenarios/acts/plays. If you have any clothes/costumes you would like to donate please let us know. (Sorry, no hats, please)
• December was a short month for the green team but we managed to accomplish many projects and learned an abundance of new things together. Take a peek at some of the today in history highlights and be sure to ask your green team members to tell you about what they’ve learned.

​

Today in History Highlights

• Some of the December history highlights included the premier of the Nutcracker ballet, the creation of the Pirates of the Caribbean amusement park ride (Walt Disney’s last ride he helped build), news coverage of a man  living in New York with over 300 cats and many more.

​
Reminder: Please remember to encourage your children to bring a book they find interesting to read during homework time. We have many books available for our 2 / 3 team but sometimes it can be hard for friends to find something that sparks their interest. Though our 2nd grade students do not yet receive homework we still expect them to be able to read quietly, write or draw during our daily homework time.
ALSO
PLEASE provide your child with appropriate outdoor clothing.  Children need boots, gloves, hats/mittens and warm jackets.  We do not allow the children go on the field if they do not have boots or snowpants.  In addition, it may be helpful to supply your child with an extra set of clothes (socks, pants...).
Thanks!  ~ Nick and Josh
