I hope everyone had a fantastic, restful, fun filled break! I apologize to the families that had their conference canceled on Tuesday. I have sent an email/left a phone message to reschedule. If those days/times do not work for you, we can work something out. We have a fun and exciting week ahead of us.
A few quick notes....

Thursday and Friday we will make predictions about Gingerbread Man stories....

Do you think this is a happy or sad story?
Ask your student to share their favorite Gingerbread story!

Our class will visit Ms. House for science this week. They will learn about the process of observation. They will compete a sink or float experiment, learn what salt does to an egg in water, and how shapes of objects effect if they sink or float.
