☃️ The learning continued during our snow days when the Fours students were challenged to build a snowman using small, medium and large snowballs and include numbers like 2 eyes or 1 nose! They also read a story to an adult and told them the book title, items from the beginning, middle and end of the story and picked out one "big kid" word and discussed its meaning. How did you spend your snow days? ❄️

🕎 The Fours Frog classroom welcomed a very special visitor to learn all about Hanukah! The children listened to a story from a student`s grandmother, added candles to the Menorah, played the Dreidel game and enjoyed Hanukah treats - donuts & gelt (gold chocolate coins). Happy Hanukah!
