Superkids
This morning we met our last Superkid!  We were very excited!  After we finish this unit, all the Superkids will join together to form the Superkids club, and we will learn about the club the rest of the year.  Here are some questions to prompt discussion at home today:

Who is the new Superkid? Hot Rod
What sound is at the beginning of his name? /h/
What does Hot Rod like to do? race cars, build racecars
What is his car's name? The Fast Cat

Winter Weather, Recess, and Snow Boots
Winter is finally here!  And with that, we see a lot of days of indoor recess due to extreme cold and/or a snow covered playground.  On the days that the temperature (windchill included) is 25 or above, we will be going out as long as the blacktop is free of snow and ice.  That being said, we have been stuck inside all week.  Indoor recess can be fun at first, but sometimes becomes mundane for the kids, or can become a problem as the kids get stir-crazy. If your child wears snow boots to school, it is a good idea to send in a regular pair of tennis shoes to change into while at school.  This not only ensures they have proper shoes for PE on Tuesdays, but the boots can also be hard to walk in all day for some kiddos.  Thanks for your help with this.  

Sight Words
The sight words for this week are: see, look.  Please add these to your practice lists at home!  

Have a great week!
