It was so nice to start our day with gymnastics. We finished this round of literacy centers and guided reading and had music. We finished the morning with a messy but very fun art project (thank you to our volunteer, Jodi, for your patience and help!). As we are exploring texture and our sense of touch, we're creating texture collages of our faces wearing hats and mittens. It will be fun to write about these pieces!
Sight Words (We are working with these in our weekly poem)

Gymnastics Attire
We are very excited to enjoy gymnastics for the next 2 weeks! Please help your child prepare for gymnastics each day with comfy, easy-to-move-in clothing, and for safety, no long or dangly jewelry. Students remove their shoes during gymnastics -- barefoot is recommended but they can choose to keep their socks on (especially if they have an infection or warts on their feet). If students have longer hair, please have hair tied back (or send an elastic). Thanks for your help!
