February Chatter
February normally slips in with all of us thinking about ice, snow and trying to stay warm. This year, however, we are enjoying a rather balmy winter! However, we plan to remain alert and ready for any winter weather! It wasn't quite as interesting as it could have been when we were learning about snow, and winter weather last month!
We began this month with a unit on Groundhogs, and then Cowboys! It was a great week, and we spent the entire week wearing cowboy hats! We also got to have snack with our drinks in a cowboy boot! This week we are focused on Valentine's Day, and then we will follow up with units on Dental Health and Famous Americans. We will include letters this month of P, Q, R and S; our shape will be a heart and our color will be pink. We will concentrate on the number 7 in math.
Specials for the month will include chapel each Tuesday, Baby Grand Music, a Valentine's Day party, Creature Teacher, Library Liz and Spanish class! The best special for the month, however, will be our 100th Day Celebration! We are learning to count to 100 and we are almost there! On February 15th, we will have a special snack and special art to celebrate the 100th day of school! It will be a wonderful day!
Everyone is working hard on phonics —— learning letters and sounds is much easier now than earlier in the year since we all understand how letters work to make sounds and words. We began writing words on lined paper last week with pencils! Look for these special papers as they come home —— you'll be as proud as we are!
We appreciate your continued support and you allowing us to spend each day with your child. As always, let us know of any concerns you might have.
