Goodness how the months have flown by!

Within the past month and a half our igloo was completed! It looked wonderful, it was so exciting to finally see all our hard work completed. Sadly, our igloo has started to 'melt'. I guess that is appropriate with the start of spring blossoming two days ago. It has been so fun to have a place for us to sit and enjoy the colors and quiet of the igloo.

We are looking forward to the continued wonderful weather and two more great field trips. I cannot believe our year is almost over!

Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Our igloo is coming along nicely! We are probably 150 - 200 milk jugs away from completion! Our class really enjoys sitting in the igloo to read, take a snooze, or just to look at all the colors of the milk caps.

This week we are working in the theme of Transportation. This week we will work to fine tune our skills of:

• Graphing
• Sorting
• Letter matching
• Letter formation

Reminder - Conferences are this week, by request only. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any point!
