Winter Promise Week 12

Week 12 and we started to learn about the Savannah. We read about termites and giraffes. Did you know that a giraffe's tongue is about 18 inches long? Wow. We began reading Ribsy by Beverly Clearly. J worked on telling time and she practiced her math facts including doubles.

We work on her math facts before each math lesson.

J learned a new concept in math - quarter hour and quarter of. We practiced all week.

J's story of the week was The Red Hen which prompted a discussion about whether it was fair of the hen not to share the bread.

This week brought us weather that was cold enough to snow (but it didn't stick) so we brought out the hot chocolate. J is just now loving hot chocolate with marshmallows.

Highlight of the week - Grandma and Grandpa bought J a "princess bed" (bed with canopy) along with polar fleece sheets. J loves her bed - the smile tells it all. Hope your week was full of unexpected surprises. See you soon.
