Dear Families,

We've had a mixed-up couple of weeks from our snow storms!  This past week was spent finishing up some of our makeup work from our Community Helpers Unit, and celebrating St. Patrick's Day with some small group activities.  This week we will get back to our Transportation Unit.  We are going to talk about the word "Transportation" and what it means, as well as talk about different kinds of transportation we use.  Here's what we will be reading this week.

Dear Families,

This is the last week of our Community Helpers unit.  This week we are reviewing all the different kinds of community helpers we see, and how different community helpers need different tools and vehicles to do their jobs.  Here is what we will be reading this week.
