Thank you ALL for coming to parent-teacher conferences! 100% attendance from parents -no wonder your children are all making so much progress! Family support and teamwork between  home and school makes all the difference -I appreciate all of you! Your children will also appreciate your hard work someday (they just won't realize it for awhile!)
We had a wonderful trip to the Walled Lake Outdoor Center! Everyone did such a great job! We bundled up...

and got on the bus.

We took a walk outside to see the seeds in the garden that birds like to eat and got some seeds on our gloves. We also put food out at the bird feeder and watched birds come to eat. 

 

Inside we made pine cone bird feeders and potpourri to bring home with us. Afterwards, we all ate lunch together!

Just a reminder to everyone - the children go out for recess and need to have hats and mittens/gloves, boots and snow pants. Please put names inside of things. Your children may leave boots and snow pants here if they wish. It is also a good idea to pack extra socks in case feet get wet outside. It would help your child become more independent if you could practice putting on and zipping up winter gear. This is a skill your child will eventually need in a general education setting, so we try to encourage them and provide practice here as well.
