Thank you Sara the Snowman (Ms. Sorrentino) for starting our New Year with a fun group activity and lesson! The children worked in teams to figure out how many snowmen they had to create based on the number of eyes, coal and buttons! We also used addition, multiplication and division to explain our thinking!

Accepting others for who they are and even ourselves for that matter is a great quality. Too often we are quick to talk about others or put ourselves down. Watch this award winning animation about a dog’s twisted tale.
What does this video teach us about acceptance. Try to find something similar and something different with others around you. Use the “We/Me” flip worksheet at home and in school.
Our book of the month is The Yellow Star by Carmen Deedy. After reading and listening to the Legend of King Christian X of Denmark, explain why the author titled the book The Yellow Star. What does the yellow star symbolize?
The Peanuts Movie is out in theaters. Enjoy “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Full” video.
Try Turkey Swap is to switch the locations of the turkeys and the pigs with as few moves as possible. You can move each tile by clicking on it. A tile can be moved to the empty space if the space is immediately beside it, or if there is one tile between it and the space.
Thank you to our families who helped celebrate our Thanksgiving Feast with us! We appreciate all the food that was cooked and donated, and we are very thankful for all of you!
