We are beginning a social studies unit on maps and globes.  We will first look at where we live and expand from there.

Smokey Bear visits to remind us about fire safety as we near spring!

MATH:  We’ve been practicing counting by 1’s, 5’s and 10’s to 100.

We have practiced playing Top it (what we knew as kids as War!).  We are also looking at teen numbers.  We will learn about the addition and equal signs and begin doing some addition problems.

Thank you to all who helped in the classroom or who donated snacks and all who helped get their child’s Valentines ready for our party!  The children enjoyed the day!  Thanks to those that helped with our Heart activities in the gym too!  It was a busy day!!!

December Student of the Month:  Adalyn L.

Adalyn always has a smile and an eager heart to help others!  She likes to help!!  Adalyn likes the color purple and she loves to paint.  Her favorite food is spaghetti.  She has two dogs and one cat at home.  Her favorite book is Gotta GO!  Gotta Go! Gotta Go to Mexico!  (We read it during our Monarch Butterfly study!). Adalyn would like to learn the whole alphabet this year!  When she grows up she wants to be a nurse!  (She told her Mom she wanted to be a nurse so she could take care of Ms. Thompson when she gets old!). J 

Because of all the snow days it was decided there would not be a February student of the Month.  We will have our next one on delayed start in March.

Book orders are due Monday February 25!

Have a great weekend!
