Mrs. Rodgers' Class

Our focus this week in reading is all about snowmen. We are reading 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 week:  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 make edible snowmen.  Congratulations to our January Camper of the Mont
