February Newsletter

Here comes February! We have started out the day with counting to 100 and getting ready for our 100 Day Celebration happening next Friday. The kids are getting excited and can't wait. We have a lot of other activities planned for this month as well. 

Many thanks to Becky Hart for volunteering to come in and help disinfect the entire school with me. We should be on the right side of getting all of these "sicky bugs" outta here. Please be vigilant with your children. If they sound crudy and seem to have green stuff coming out of their noses, I would highly suggest getting them checked out. We are working EXTRA hard at keeping things sanitized. 

Some of the things that we will be working on are greater than and less than with numbers, counting to 100, subtraction and multiplication. In language we continue to work on letter formations with our handwriting books, story telling with our writing journals and building our phonetic words and sight words. 

In the cultural areas we will be learning all about Chinese New Year and the celebrations around this holiday. With my time spent in Asia as a little girl, I love to share a part of what my family traditions were. On the science shelf we will be studying the Arctic polar region and the animals and its habitat.

We have a new family to welcome in the middle of the month. Also there is a day that the school will be closed this month, President's Day, We are looking forward to some warmer days to sped some more time outside on the playground. Please continue to bring winter weather gear for your children to stay warm outside. Even if there isn't any snow.
