What's Happening in the Tiger Classroom!
It was wonderful to see so many families attending and presenting at our Cultural Fair! It was so fun to learn about some of the different cultures that our students share at Willow Grove.
As a reminder it is very important to label your child's snow gear! We found a pair of black snowpants in the hallway without a name and are unable to find out who they belong to. The children do not always recognize their own clothing, so please help us by labeling their clothing!
We are excited to announce Spirit Week the week leading into Winter Break! We think this will be a fun way to wrap up 2018 with the kids. Mon - Dec 17: Crazy hair day
Tue - Dec 18: Wear your class color or represent your animal emoji day (Tiger class is wearing black for tigers)
Wed - Dec 19: Spirit wear or purple or grey day
Thur - Dec 20: PJ Day (there will be indoor recess)
Fri - Dec 21: Winter party day

Literacy
We continue to work on narrative writing, this week we have been writing about Pip the penguin and if he visited our school and what he would do. I introduced 2 new sight words: of, it. We are continuing to work on short "i" in CVC words. We are also working on sounding out words using our reading strategy Stretchy Snake in our reading and writing opportunities.
Math
We are working on developing fluency in addition to 5 using games and activities in whole, small group and math bin games. Our December calendar is focusing on positional words (above, below, in front of, behind, inside, outside, to the left or right). Our math lessons have also focused on more/less. We are beginning Unit 4 next week, so I am including it below.

Science
In our Weather Unit, we looked at the types of weather we have had during the last couple of weeks. We had 5 days of snowy weather! We talked how weather can change from beginning of the day to end and how it changes from day to day.
