I hope everyone had a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Everyone seems to have returned rejuvenated!

Today in your child's orange folder is a packet of math games that I collected from various resources. They vary in level of difficulty and skills, but hopefully there is at least one that will appeal to everyone.

We have begun our study of rocks and several children have brought in rocks to share. I have a large collection in the classroom, but children are welcome to bring in rocks of their own. If your child would like to keep the rocks please send them in a labeled bag.

As I mentioned previously, our next share will focus on 3-5 things that start with the same letter. One strategy for gathering these items is to think of one thing your child would really like to share and then fine a couple of other objects that start with the same letter. Two children shared today- see if your child remembers what letters these shares represented.
