Wednesday, January 18

Thank you so much to Ms. Hill, the kids, and parents for making my 34th birthday a wonderful day! I am so touched by your kindness and honored every day to spend time teaching your children. They sang "Happy Birthday" to me at snack time and then enjoyed some of the yummy cake Chloe's mom Kim brought in (thank you!).



Today we also practiced writing the letter Oo and talked about owls. We discussed their habitat and the fact that they are nocturnal (the owls, not the letter Oo). The kids made some great owl sound for us before we read Owl Moon together. I want to say a big "thank you!" to Emily's mom for bringing in adorable magnetic owls, which we painted with watercolors today.







The kids also got to bring Ollie the Octopus home. We had a great time assembling him over the past two days. Your children are excellent construction paper leg crinklers, and they are now well-versed on just how many legs an octopus has.



Before we dismissed to go home, we learned about opposites and gave some examples. The kids grasped this concept very well, so please feel free to reinforce it at home. See how many opposites you can come up with together.
