Dear Parents and Guardians,

The New Year is fast approaching and we have been very busy! The unit we working on and will finish in the next few days is called What’s on the Menu? In this unit we will have covered the following concepts.

• Bodies need food for energy and good health.
• Breads and cereals are needed for nutrition.
• Fruits and vegetables are needed for nutrition.
• Dairy and protein are needed for nutrition.
• Bodies need limited amounts of fat to stay healthy.
• Food is sold at markets.
• Foods are sorted by categories at the market.
• Markets are in every country in the world.
• There are many types of markets.
• There are many jobs to do in a market.

We have been very busy decorating our room with various holiday projects. You are all invited to come and take a look at our hard work and beautiful decorations.

Stepping Stones
We have been working on blending CVC words. We have made books with these words that the children have taken home. Please, take some time and practice with these words. Also, please keep reading with your child.

Announcements
On December 18th we will be going on a field trip to Cub Foods and Miller Hill Mall in Duluth. The bus will be leaving the school at 8:10 am. If your child misses the bus or arrives late that day they will miss the field trip. We will not be holding the bus for any reason. If your child arrives after the bus leaves the parent/guardian will receive a call to come and pick up their child. Anyone (child) not able to make it to school on time should plan on staying at home for the day.

Miigwech,

Ms. Dawn
