This week your children started a major project that is a “sweet secret” for you at the end of the month. We discussed how secrets can be sour or sweet. Sour secrets hurt feelings or aren’t safe and sweet secrets are surprises to make someone happy. We hope this sweet secret brings you a smile this winter! Your children will be bringing the project home on Dec. 22nd before winter break. If you have any plans for being away ahead of the 22nd please let me know so that your kiddo can bring their project home before they leave.
This week we also introduced the iPads to our classroom. The children learned the rules for using the iPads here at school and had a chance to peek at one of our phonics apps. We will use the iPads more frequently starting in January.
