Schnabel's January/February's News!

Hi!
   It is so hard to believe that the weather is in 50's right now and it's the end of January.  Blue sky and sun!  How lucky are we! 
   In January and February we are studying penguins.  We have 12 new vocabulary words.  The kids have been reading the words, playing games with the pictures, listening to penguin stories (fact and fiction,) watching penguins on You Tube, singing penguin songs, and having fun learning about penguins.
   Moms, the new vocabulary words are:  fish, penguin, egg, loud, quiet, ice, earth, ocean, they, what, where, feathers.  You can start printing the words on file cards.  I'll send home the pics to glue on the back of the file cards ASAP.  
   CSE's are around the corner.  We will be scheduling more CSE conferences with parents.
   My class has been #1 on the candy sale list thanks to you all! 
   We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Tues. Feb. 14.  There is a "sweet heart" dance that day.  We will be make our Valentine folders at the end of this week.  The list of names for Valentine cards for students and staff: are:  Abby, Alex, Jackson, Ellie, Lizzy, Jessica, Paige, Ella, Debbie S., Debbie T.,  Rosa, Karen, Heather, and Erin.
   FYI, February break starts the week of Feb. 19.
   Bye, until next month!  Debbie
