Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!  Why does snow melt? We will explore and learn all about snow this week.  We will be read and discussed the fiction book, The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats.     Vocabulary from the book: piled: a number of things on top of each other path: a track beaten by the feet of people or animals pretend: to imagine or believe sank: settled in or covered firm: hard or solid when pressed Here are just a few activities you can do at home with your child this weekend: Write sight words on scrap pieces of paper.  Wad the paper up and have a snowball fight.  Pick up the snowballs and read the words inside. Use cotton balls (snow) and toss into cups.  Count and see how many you can get it the cups.

Congratulations to our Leader of the Month for January, Isaac! Our focus this week in reading was all about snowmen. We read a fun book this week called Sneezy the Snowman  by Maureen Wright. This story is all about a snowman who is cold and looking for a way to warm up, but there are consequences with every method he tries. However, some children help him find the perfect solution to his problem!  Vocabulary from the book: shivered: shook slightly because you were cold melted: changed from a solid to a liquid puddle: a small amount of water on the ground campfire: a fire that is built outdoors in a camp area scoops: round portions of a soft solid  Here are a few activities you can do at home with your child this weekend:  Have and indoor sight word snowball fight. Ball up pieces of white paper with sight words written inside. Read all the sight word snowballs you get hit with! Have fun! Use marshmallows of different sizes along with toothpicks to
