Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2013!  I don't know about you, but Winter Break flew by for me!  During this quick week, we talked about what we did during our Winter Break and also began talking about babies.  This month we will be talking all about babies - both human and animal.  We wrote down the things we already know about babies.  At the end of our unit, we will do this activity again and compare the things we knew when we started and talk about the new things we learned.  Our letter of the week this week and next is D.  Keep reviewing the letter names and sounds at home with the flash cards your child received at the start of the year.    

Coming Up Next...
*We will start Student of the Week this month.  Please see your child's folder for more information about this special opportunity. 
* In February we will be studying weather and seasons. 
*In March we will be visited by some animals from the Cincinnati Zoo!  We will be asking each child to send in $3 to cover the cost of the Zoo visit.  More information soon. 

Reminders...
*Help your child dress appropriately for the weather.  We will play outside any days the temperature is 32 degrees or above.  If your child needs coat, gloves, or hat, please contact me.
*Keep your child at home if he/she is sick and remember to call the school office at 924-2560 to let them know.  You can also email me at plunkett.k@norwoodschools.org
*New safety procedures are in place in our school.  Parents MUST ring the bell at the front door and state their child's name, grade, and teacher before they are allowed to enter.  Parents must then go to the office.  As always, parents who wish to enter the classroom when students are present must have finger prints on file at the Board of Education.  Thank you for helping to keep our school a safe place. 


HOMEWORK...
*Send in a baby picture of your child (under 1 year) with his/her name on the back.  We will be using these for several activities.  We will return the picture when we are finished.

No pictures this week, sorry :(
