I hope everyone has managed to stay warm this week!  We have been reading the book Owl Moon, by Jane Yolen, to coincide with the full moon on Saturday.  Although I think it will be too cold to actually go out, your child can probably tell you some things about owling.  In conjunction with this we have been working on an owl felting project.  Using roving wool and warm, soapy water, so far we have created bodies and heads.  We will put these together when they are dry and add distinguishing features.

Today was our 93rd day of school.  Provided there are no cancellations in the next several days our 100th day will fall on Monday, February 4th.  In honor of this I have invited everyone to create a 100 project to share with the class.  This can be as simple as putting 100 somethings in a jar and bringing them in, or using 100 things to create something.  We brainstormed a list of possibilities in class today:  pennies, paper clips, toothpicks and mini- marshmallows, stickers, beads, words, numbers etc.   This could come in anytime between now and February 4th!

FLYNN TRIP MARCH 26
On March 26th, we will be going to the Flynn Theater to see a show based on the book If You Give A Mouse a Cookie.  The PTA generously funds most of the cost, but children are asked to contribute $3.00 each for the tickets.  This money can be given to me or directly to Kathi any time in the next few weeks.
