Dear Families,
The Bears were very excited to welcome our first new student of 2011 this week. His name is William, and he will be attending the TCEE 3 days a week.
In our classroom this week we continued to produce more snow pictures! It seems like wherever we look there is a blizzard! Unfortunately, the temperature was so low that we did not have the opportunity to play in the real snow. Hopefully it will warm up just a bit, so please continue to send your children to school with hats, mittens, boots, and snow pants.
In looking forward to Spring, (we think it will arrive sometime soon), the children all got to plant some seeds. We are anxiously waiting the day when we see some green in the middle of the brown dirt!
On Friday morning we were lucky to have Moreh Micah join us for a while. The children love when he brings his guitar! During our indoor movement time this week the children enjoyed moving and dancing to our animal action and Sammy songs.
Thank you to Rob Sherry for being our special Shabbat visitor. The children loved hearing the books that you read.
If you have not yet signed up for a conference, please do so. We can certainly meet on an alternate date, if next Thursday is not good for you.
We hope that the school cancellations have not been too disruptive to your children, but we must make safety our number one concern. Listening to the weather on TV has reminded us that this is one of the worst winters in Boston in a very long time.
Despite the fact that your children will not be entering Kindergarten in 2011, please consider joining us on Tuesday evening, February 1st, when Vicki Milstein will be a guest speaker, talking about the Kindergarten program in the Brookline public school system. She will give you some insight as to what Kindergarten readiness truly is.
As always, I can be reached at rmaple@ohabei.org if you wish to communicate during non school hours. Stay war. Enjoy the snow.
Shabbat Shalom.
Morah Rhona and Morah Jessica
