We are So Glad to be Back at School
It was so fun to be back at school and to see our friends. Finally we could play outside!! We had so much fun playing in the snow and playing on the snow mountain. The Gingerbread Man surprised us. He sent us two books about pancakes. Guess what? We even had hot pancakes and syrup. We learned a new math game. We made our own If you Give a Pig a Pancake book. It was a funny story. We talked about the letter J. We have a friend in our class that begins with the letter J. We are practicing rhyming and learning our letter sounds. I can practice these skills at home. There are ideas on Mrs. Kitson's website. It was a warm winter day in Kindergarten.
