After cleaning up our Morning Work we had Spanish with Senora Hillary.  Today we practiced Words for Manners in Spanish and the names of some animals.  We learned:

  • por favor (please)
  • gracias (thank you)
  • de nada (you're wlecome)
  • salud! (for when someone sneezes)
  • gato (cat)
  • perro (dog)
  • pez/peces (fish)


Then we went outside.  We were so surprised to find ice on some parts of the playground!  It was exciting!  We didn't stay outside very long because it was so cold.






At our rug center today we had another day working at the office.  At Miss Paula's center we worked our hand and finger muscles with golf tees and styrofoam.  We put them in and pulled them out--and then used hammers on them!  At Miss Kathleen's center we did some more strengthening of our hand/finger muscles using toothpicks and styrofoam.  We had to push in the toothpicks to outline our names.  That was fun!
