HOOT#16

This week's homework:
Do on Tuesday (due on Wednesday): find the date for today on the calendar at home. Then show that number with tally marks (you can draw lines or use what you have at home)
Do on Wednesday (due on Thursday): find words or objects in magazines that have a K in them. Glue them into a K collage and bring it to school.

Reminders:
please bring back towels, placemats and water bottles for school.

Winter layers!
Kids are happiest dry! Waterproof footwear and waterproof gloves/mittens please.
Please remind your child to put on socks and underwear too!
And remember Murphy's rule: if it can get lost, mixed up or mismatched, it will. Labeling winter items is a great idea.

Letter of the week: Kk
(I call K the lazy letter because it always makes the hard K sound, but most of the time C is the one that ends up doing the job.)

Art club now on Tuesdays only -- the magic of felt: softening rocks!




TISA's fun fundraiser, January 30 at Taos Mesa Brewery.
Clan Tynker is a Santa Fe based circus/acrobat/magic troop. My children and I have been a fan of theirs for about a decade and have seen them at Holiday Fairs and Renaissance Fests. So exciting to have them just down the road!
Big Swing Theory is entertaining us absolutely for free after Clan Tynker. What a great winter evening!

DIBELS reading assessment date: January 27
