"We imitate Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, by saying yes to God."

Luke 1:36-38

The children will learn that God chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus. They will be reminded to think before they choose and to imitate Mary's "yes" to God by their kind words and actions. They will learn the Hail Mary and celebrate all wonderful moms with stories and a special project. You are asked to complete a paper in your child's folder and return it with a picture of yourself and your child (or children).

Our reading selection is Little Quack, an animal fantasy. There will be discussion on what new things the children can do as they grow and change. We will discuss plot; Rr /r/; verbs; HF Words: me, with, she; -in Word Family: bin, fin, kin, pin, sin, tin, win. It is imperative that you write these words on index cards and review them with your child along with the end of the unit sentences. We review word families and HF words daily.

We are working on equal parts and symmetry. We'll graph who wore mittens or gloves to school. We'll celebrate "Half & Half Day" on Thursday, January 27th. Info will follow.

We'll locate cold spots in the world as we read Mr. Popper's Penguins and see a video on polar animals in the Arctic and Antarctic. We'll observe how long it takes for different size snowballs to melt. (Have you put one in your freezer til the first day of spring?)

Just about every Gingerbread Baby has returned to IHM. It's been fun seeing whose arrived in the afternoon mail and finding the location on the map.

Good News! I am thrilled to have received a $500.00 Target Field Trip Grant. We will visit the Newark Museum in the spring.

Community Service Project: "Souper Bowl" Our goal is to collect 100 cans of soup before the 100th day of school. (We're at the 83rd day of school and have 15 cans.)

For Review: counting by 5's and 10's

Homework: Check your child's folder
