Welcome Back and Happy New Year! That was a fun filled, just what I needed, winter break. Harper kept us busy and we got lots of family time in. I hope everyone enjoyed their break as well and hopefully it was just what your family needed too :)

| Harper and Santa were old buddies and she only asked him for chocolate and ice cream. |
 |
| She got her first play house for Christmas. |
 |
| We saw all the animals at the zoo. |
 |
| Had too much hot chocolate and cookies at The Princess. |
 |
| Also saw all the animals at the aquarium. |
 |
And enjoyed Christmas Eve at our church.

Ok now that we looked at all the fun, let's jump back into what we have going on this week.
Spalding: We will begin our week by learning two new double phonograms igh and kn (cue: two letter, beginning). Our five spelling words will be so, no, man, now, the (as review). So, no, and the all follow rule 4, “the a vowel can say it’s name at the end of a syllable.”
Sight Words: We will start back at list 1 and use the week to review those words.
Literature: This week we will explore the Native American legend, “The Story of Jumping Mouse.” We will search for virtue in the story and then finish the week by reading another Native American folk “Rabbit’s Snow Dance.” Our poem will be Old Mother Hubbard.
Math: We will begin Book B this semester. Students will take the skills they learned last semester with more and less and find sets that are one more or one less. They will continue to compare numbers and use words such as greater than and less than.
Science and Geography: This week students will explore the oceans of the world. They will learn the names of the major oceans and point to them on a map. We will spend time learning all about the various ocean animals and will explore more in depth information about sharks and octopuses. Students will enjoy writing about the ocean animals they’re introduced to.
Here's the fun from our "Holidays Around the World Party."
