Room 6  January Newsletter



Dear Parents,

            Happy New Year! We look forward to enjoying 2020 and having your children keep learning, exploring, playing and building friendships in our Room 6 classroom.

In December, the children had fun participating in various projects based on Chanukah and learning about their shapes and colors. In class, the children learned about the dreidel and the menorah.  The highlight was the menorah lighting during circle time. The children sang and danced to a variety of Chanukah songs especially “I Have A Little Dreidel.” The children enjoyed pretending to spin like a dreidel. The children were very focused and engaged in using watercolors to paint and talking about colors while using their creativity during art.  They did many art projects such as gluing shapes, shape puzzles and listening to shape stories such as “Brown Rabbit’s Shape book” by Alan Baker.

In January the children will be learning about winter. The main focus will be on winter clothes and why we need them to keep warm.  The children will do exploration while playing with snow if weather permits. We enjoy teaching your children and look forward to a fun month of January and the new start of 2019.

Reminders: ·         Please label all your child’s belongings. ·         Please make sure children have extra clothes at school. ·         Please bring winter clothes such as hats and mittens to go outside. ·         Please bring home nap bedding on Fridays.               Sincerely, Leah

Extra: Quotes about technology that I liked.

I wanted to put these quotes about technology in my blog as I found them interesting.

Thanks, Jillian for sharing this one. Before I started this class I was not sure how technology fits into an early childhood classroom and like this quote for when technology doesn't cooperate.

I also like this photo, I found while searching the internet in between looking at class presentations.

Allyssa Ingersoll thanks for sharing this one in your presentation.

This is taken from Emily Carter's and Lizzie Loke's  blog but I wanted to save it. I liked this quote for inspiration to about how to use technology in the classroom. It sums up the class well.

This is a great quote from Lizzie Locke's blog

Extra: Epic books for students to listen to books on technology

Extra: Technology now

Today students in my class were interested in my coworker's apple watch of toy story. I feel students of the future are going to grow up with apple watches and maybe not know what standard clock watches are in our future.

I also was thinking about how would you take a screenshot on an apple watch.
