CREATING COLLAGES WITH MR. WULF AND STUDENTS!

What a fun time your children had creating snowmen collages with Mr. Wulf (the Art teacher at Lockport High School) and his Art students! It was a wonderful site to see and hear the conversation between the students. Please ask your children about their experience at school today. I am sure you will enjoy hearing all about it!

MEETING SYDNEY'S GUINEA PIG and KYLA'S WATER FROGS!

Thank you to Sydney and her Mom for bringing in Holly, Sydney's guinea pig and Kyla and her Mom for binging in Kyla's water frogs. The class learned a LOT about guinea pigs and water frogs today. The pets were great guests! The children also created their own pet rocks today. Did the children tell you what they named their pet rock? We had quite an interesting list of names!

GUEST READER!

Our Guest Reader was Henry's Mom, and the 3 year old class enjoyed hearing her read a Mercer Mayer story, THE SNOWMAN! To thank her, the class decided to act and sing "I'm a Little Snowman". They are the best melting snowpeople that I have ever seen!

Exploring Ezra Jack Keats

The children are having fun bringing Ezra Jack Keats' stories to life in our classroom! This past week they have been creating A SNOWY DAY collage on the classroom wall, and making pinecone birdfeeders to feed the birds like Jennie did in the story JENNIE'S HAT! The children are looking forward to next week, because Mr. Wulf's Art students from the Lockport High School will be coming in to do an Art lesson with them. We can't wait to see what masterpieces will be designed!

A NEW MONTH AND YEAR!

Hello Families,

It is wonderful to be back in school with your children!  We are certainly taking advantage of the snowy weather, by playing outside as much as we can.  The 3 year old class loved making snow angels, and the 4 year old class played king-of-the-mountain on some of the tall snowdrifts.  Both classes enjoyed making snowballs during our cooking lesson.  Did they share them with you?
