Winter
themes
While we are in our coldest season of the year,
we learn about the Polar regions,
which are cold all year long! These areas around the North Pole (Arctic) and
South Pole (Antarctic) are the coldest parts of the earth. This week we started
talking about the Arctic region and the adaptations polar animals have to live
in these very cold places.
Poem of the Week:
Winter is Cold!
Winter
is cold
There is snow in the sky
The
squirrel gathers nuts
And the wild geese fly.
The
fluffy red fox
Has thick fur to keep warm;
The
bear’s in a den,
Sleeping all through the storm
Honoring Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
We read the story, “Happy Birthday, Martin Luther
King!” and discussed how he and many others worked to change laws that treated
people unfairly just because of their skin color. We also read the story of Ruby Bridges, a
courageous 6 year old who helped to integrate her New Orleans school district.
We are all God’s children and deserve to be treated fairly and with respect.
King and others were able to change many things, and there are also still many
things that are not fair or right. We can learn from King’s example of courage
in standing up for what is right.
Our class sings a second verse to the song “Jesus
loves me”:
Jesus loves us, everyone
Every grown-up, daughter,
son;
Every culture, every
shade –
In God’s image we are
made.
