February Newsletter
Welcome to the month of February! The children are busy reviewing the letters of the alphabet. We are practicing writing each capital and lowercase letter using correct formation. Also, we are identifying words that begin and end with those sounds. The Kindergarteners have been sounding out many words and writing short sentences in their journals using “sound spelling”.
In the area of Mathematics, the children are using counters to solve addition and subtraction problems. We even listen to short stories and decide if we need to add or subtract to find each answer! In addition, we are preparing to celebrate our 100th day of school. Thursday, February 9th is our 100th day. In order to prepare for the celebration, the children have been counting by 1’s, 5’s, and 10’s to 100. Ask us to write our numbers for you all the way to 100! Remember to look at all the 100th day projects displayed in the hallway!
During the month of February, we will discuss “Groundhog Day”. The children will listen to a story about the Groundhog and will be asked to find out whether or not the groundhog saw his shadow.
This month, we will also discuss the meaning of “Kindness”. The boys and girls will make lists of various ways they can be kind to others.
