Thank you!

Thank you for your donation to our new ipad minis!   We are so grateful for your kind generosity and thoughtfulness.  What wonderful gifts!  The students are looking forward to using them  to enhance their learning.  We also thank you for all the delicious treats, and homemade treasures!     
We would also like to send a big thanks to all who helped out with our Class Winter Celebration. We appreciate all of you who contributed snacks and helped with the crafts and clean-up!

Check out the video below of the students singing Holiday Lights, during the celebration. 

We're beginning the new year with a Vocabulary Study, partnered with a chapter book about a boy who collects words, Donavan's Word Jar, by Monalisa DeGross.  

Your child has their own personal word jar in which to collect words.   They choose words of interest and record the word with the definition to collect in their word jar.  As we read the book, we are recording vocabulary words on charts and assigning their grammatical titles, i.e., nouns, verbs, or adjectives.  We will also be learning about synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and similes.   Ask your child about the book and their new vocabulary words!

The Manatee snack cupboards are running low!  Please send in healthy snacks like crackers, granola bars, popped popcorn, trail mix, or fresh fruit . . . they love it!

Thank You!
