Parents 
This week we had a lot of fun learning, reading, and singing about Arctic animals.
We ended our special week with our teddy bears and building a cave.  I hope they had as much fun as Mrs. Morgan and I did.

STEAM 
This week Mrs. Zwilling introduced up to the  Sphero.  This is was their intro to robotics lesson. The  student were introduced to the concept that robots are things we can control (versus the ball that can not be controlled once it is in motion),  Using an iPad the moved the Sphero around (joystick and tilt controlled) to paint a picture of the Earth.

This week we spent some time with the Stars.  We look the Constellations and Planets with our star projector.  We painted with stars. We counted with stars.   We had a star box that would glow in the dark .  We had a star Kaleidoscope, a star peg board, and other fun star lessons.  We even had a star scavenger hunt.
If you have the time try and take your child outside to do some star gazing or when  they re-open visit a Planetarium.

We also worked very hard on our lesson.  Our focus this week was getting back to the basics with choosing our work form the shelves and cleaning up after our selves before getting out new work to do.  Learning how to work our own mats is also a skill we are working on in class.
