I hope we are all enjoying the snow.  It has been a crazy mixed up week. The hundredth day of school will now be on Tuesday (fingers crossed).   If you have not already, please sign and return the envelope and the copy of the report is yours to keep.  Also if you have not sent your child's valentines in please do so ASAP.  We have a post office set up in dramatic play where they are able to mail the valentines.

We continued to work on lowercase d and g.  We also continued to work on the word like. We have been practicing our reading; we have a lot of great readers!  They are also great writers.  We have been practicing our sight words in isolation and in the context of reading.  You may want to practice finding them in books with your children.
