Subway Changes
The changes in the the F line that were schedule to start yesterday have been pushed back to next week. If your child commutes, please make sure s/he is aware of it and factor that change into their travel time on the commute home. Thank you.

Monday Update
We start the week with some transit upheaval for those of us who commute by subway. The F train service has been changed and Manhattan bound trains will not stop at our local station. Anyone who commutes via subway will have to take the Brooklyn bound F to Church Street and take the Manhattan bound F from that station.
Arriving to school should not be affected as the Brooklyn bound F trains are running normally.
Here are some other items to note:
* Please send in the permission slip and admission for the Prospect Park Trip. I can collect it and forward it to Ms. Gamboi who is organizing the trip.
* Please continue to collect the glass jar for our butter making activity. We will try to get that underway during the first week of February.
* Test folders will go out tomorrow and contain the Unit 4 Math test. Most children did very well on the exam. Some children need to look over their calculations, specifically when there is regrouping or borrowing. We will continue working on those skills in class and you can support that at home by looking over the test and reminding your child to check their calculations during homework.
* The Green Progress report for boys went out last week. Please look over your son's homework sheet and sign the report.
Thank you for your attention and efforts. Have a safe and warm week!

Week 17
Weaving is hard work! For our First Friday activity, we tried to weave fabric like the early colonist. At our Brooklyn Museum visit, we learned that fabric was very valuable and with all the effort it takes, we know why! With a lot of patience and concentration, we were able to make some progress. Each child has their project and some more yarn to add on to the weaving board if they want to continue with the project. It isn't a homework assignment but almost all students expressed an interest in continuing it.
Green progress reports went home for our boys this week. Please review and sign for your son.
Here are some things to note for this upcoming week:
* We will have a meeting with our Kindergarten Buddies next Friday.
* Please continue sending in those glass jars! We need jars that are about 10-14 ounces big for a butter churning activity in February.
* Please return the trip slip for the Prospect Park Owl Pellet trip on February 4.
Have a great weekend!

Thank you Chaperones!
Our second visit to the Brooklyn Museum is over and we had a lot of learning opportunities. We got to examine a few artifacts and visit a more modern Dutch farmhouse.
We want to thank Ms. Mitchell, Ms. Peterson and Mr. Naimoli for coming with us and for being so helpful!
A change of plans: We will work on a weaving activity during this First Friday. This is an activity gifted to us by the Brooklyn Museum. Please join us if you'd like!

Happy New Year!
Welcome back! It great to see everyone well rested and ready for the new year.
Here a few few things to note:
* The poll answer to 900 divided by 1000 is 0.9 or nine tenths.
* Green behavior sheets went home for the girls on the Thursday before the recess. Please review and sign it .
* We have our trip to the Brooklyn Museum this Wednesday. If you are interested in being a chaperone, please send a note with your child or let me know at dismissal.
* There will be a math test on Thursday on decimals and the metric units of linear measurements. As usual, there will be a study sheet.
* First Friday this week might center around a math game but can be rescheduled if some one would like to present an activity to the class. Please send a note if you would like to share a talent!
* Please make sure your child has two additional folders: one for word study and another for music. This was posted a couple of weeks ago so quite a few families have already taken care of this and can disregard this reminder.
* We will need a clean glass jar with a lid per child for a butter churning activity in February. The jar should hold about 10-14 oz. Children will have to shake the contents of the jar so any jars that are too large may present a problem for small hands. Please keep an eye out for a jar that would suit this activity and send it in with your child whenever you can.
Thank you and have a wonderful week!
