Morning Mystery Word:
POEREU

Tonight is the sleepover from 6:00 - 8:30. We will be there for two and a half hours, eating pizza, showing our talents, dancing, playing with a parachute, and other fun activities.

Sharing tomorrow is something from a tree. Anything from a tree that is not dangerous or too messy.

Starting next week, Whitney would like it if people would bring in slippers. This will help keep the room clean as it gets more and more muddy outside this winter. Changing into slippers will also help with the transition from recess time to school time. Any indoor footwear will work: crocs, sturdy socks with bottoms on them, slippers, etc.

Before menu groups the class pretended their bodies were planet earth. They talked about where the North Pole would be (the top of their heads) and the South Pole (their feet) and the Equator (in the middle, where a belt would go). Then they learned two new terms: northern hemisphere (all the land and water north of the equator) and southern hemisphere (all the land and water south of the equator). Then they played "Simon Says". "Simon says touch the equator!"
