01.21.2009

Welcome back! After the extra-long break, I am ready to get back into a routine. I hope you all were able to enjoy the snow...what there was of it.

Some things that we have discussed in class that you may want to review with your child at home:

New President - Barack Obama
Facts - 44th President, Historical Event - he is the first African American President, married to Michelle, and has 2 daughters.
New Vice President - Joe Biden

Also we have discussed the weather and the seasons. Students should be able to identify and use a thermometer as well as comprehend the use of a thermometer. They should also be able to tell what the weather feels like according to the temperature. For example if a thermometer says it is 45 degrees, the student should be able to tell that it is cold outside and also what should be worn in this weather. Please continue to work with your child at home on these skills.

Our class was scheduled to attend special olympics tomorrow (Thursday). However, due to the breaks and the extra snow day as well as the fact that so many students are not able to participate because they do not have medicals, we will not be attending. The next Special Olympics event will be held at SC School for the Deaf and Blind this spring.

Spelling words will resume next week.
