Good Morning!

A huge congratulations to Mason and his mom and dad who welcomed a new addition, Easton to their family last week!




Literacy:

M and W scavenger hunt!  Using mom or dad's iphone or camera, take pictures of everything you can find that start with the /m/ and /w/ sound.  Can you find more items that start with /m/ or /w/?  Send me a collage of your photos OR send me your favorite pic!  You can always print off your photos and glue them into your visual journals too!



Math:
Let's follow along with Ms. Konno as she teaches us how to make an origami house.  You will probably need some help with this! Remember to start with a square sheet of paper.  If you don't have a square sized paper, Ms. Konno will show you how to make your rectangular piece of paper into a 
square!

Now that we have the house, let's listen to the story of The Napping House and then I will give you your task!

The button will be travelling to BC next, so stay tuned!

Thank you for helping our children understand the importance of spreading love and kindness.
