Prime Time
Have you heard that phrase yet at your house?? Last week we started our club time called "Prime Time"! Every Friday morning they get to spend time learning more about the subject of their choice (science, math or writing). Today in my science club we learned about winter AND made snow. Ask you child which club they are in, who their teacher is and what they learned today!

Penguins and Polar Bears...
Do not live on the same continent! Something K1 learned yesterday during out Virtual Field Trip! We learned that polar bears live in the Arctic and penguins live in Antarctica! We also learned some big words like biome (a place animals live), tundra (cold desert) and permafrost (always icy). Ask your child if they can tell you what color polar bears skin is...
Favorite kid quote from the lesson: "I KNOW THE NAME OF THAT PENGUIN!!!!! It's a cheese penguin. (*deep thought) Oh, wait. I think it's....a macaroni penguin?
Magnets
Last week we studied magnets! They had a lot of fun exploring the room to discover all the things that are magnetic. Ask your child what something has to have in order to be magnetic...

January Super Food
Here are some fun facts about broccoli:
Broccoli is a COLD weather crop.
Broccoli comes in a variety of colors from Lime Green to Purple.
Ounce for ounce Broccoli has as much calcium as milk.
The word “broccoli” comes from the Latin word “brachia” meaning “arms”
In 2011 people in the United States ate 400 times more Broccoli than they did in 1991.
We will be having lots of broccoli this month, on Friday we will be having Broccoli Slaw so be sure to try some with BBQ Sliders.

Caring
This months citizenship quality is caring. Yesterday we visited some sweet grand friends and had a great time showing them how much we cared about them. The grand friends LOVED the cards we made them and our joyful singing. They were so appreciative of "little" visitors. You should be very proud of your very caring Kindergartner.
