WInter has arrived!

Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a great Christmas break! We are pleased to welcome two new student to our class, Owen and Barrett! We are so glad to have new friends in our class! Sadly we also lost a student over break, Aishik aka "Nick" and his family moved back to India. :-( We will miss him a lot! This past week and this week our class is learnig all about winter. We have been talking about what happens to the weather, what types of clothing we wear, and what types of activities do we do. We started off this week by doing a special science experiment where we put snowflakes, made out of pipe cleaners, in a borax-water solution to soak and hopefully over the next few days we will have crystalized snowflakes to hang in our classroom. Pictures have been posted on the school's Facebook page if you would like to see the experiment. Report cards went out last week, most have been turned back in but if you haven't already please sign them and return them. Thank you! And if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to give me a call or stop by my room!
Many Blessings!
Krista Langford

Goodbye Thanksgiving, Hello Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break! Our class had lots of fun at this year's sharing feast and ate lots of good food! Thank you to everyone who donated money for the rolls!
Christmas time is amongst us and we are hard at work in our class! This week our theme is "Gingerbread People". The children have been working on their own gingerbread family and house for our class' bulletin board. This Friday we will be decorating our very own gingerbread boy/girl for snack! This should be lots of fun!

Fall Harvest!!

This week our class is learning about the Fall Harvest, Seeds and Nuts. Yesterday we painted a picture of a pecan tree, but before we started painting we first went outside to look at the pecan tree on our playground. We studied the trees' trunk, branches, leaves, and the pecan nuts. The children collected the fallen pecans and we brought them back in the classroom to use in our project. Once we were back in class, each child had opportunity to paint their own pecan tree. We used brown paint for the tree trunk and branches, and green paint for the leaves. Then we glued on the pecans we gathered from the playground. The trees look so cute and each one unique to each child!

Getting Ready for Thanksgiving!

Hello Friends!

We have been super busy the last month, and we are currently finishing up our "Nocturnal Animals" theme, where we focused mostly on owls and bats. Our next themes are going to be Fall Harvest, Native Americans, and Thanksgiving. Our sharing feast will be on November 18 and our is responsible for bringing rolls for the entire school, approximately 75 rolls. I will have a sign up sheet by my door for those of you who want to contribute. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to email me or just stop by my room!

Blessings,
Krista Langford

Classroom Jobs

Starting today, there are five new jobs that the children will be assigned at the beginning of each day. Each child will take turns doing a job throughout the week, never repating the same job that week. The jobs are; Calender Helper, Weather Helper, Door Holder, Line Leader, and Room Monitor, which is actually going to be given to two children each day. So that means 6 job positions a day, with 12 children in our class that means half the class will be have something to do every day.

We are also finishing up our "All About Me" theme! We have about 75% of our family albums finished and they came out so cute! I am still missing a pictures from a few children, so please turn them in ASAP so all the children can share their families with the class!

Fire Safety

Today we had a special vistor, Mrs. Jones, the fire safety lady came in today and taught us all about how to walk across the street safely. She taught us to look both ways before we cross the street, never cross the street with out a parent or another adult, and that we need to use our eyes and ears to make sure it is safe to cross. Here are a few photos from today's special visit.
