What's Happening in February
February is a busy month in the classroom.
Language Arts- The various groups are working on different reading skills. The groups are practicing letters sounds and putting those sounds together to make words, practicing sight words, and reading leveled readers. These are the sight words your child should recognize if they have been actively engaged during group time from seeing these words on morning message, agenda board, predictable charts, and etc. I, a, go, to, love, today, is. it, will, we. If your child can not easily recognize these words you can do some fun activities at home to help. Have them write them in sand, shaving cream, write them in fun colors, find them in book, make flash cards and play memory with them.
Math- We are working on recognizing the numbers 11-20 and counting sets to those numbers. We finished our unit on patterns and are moving on to measurement. The students will be making direct comparisons of length, capacity, weight, temperature and recognize which object is shorter, longer, taller, lighter, heavier, warmer, cooler or holds more. They will work to understand concepts of time, including morning, afternoon, evening, today, yesterday, tomorrow, day, week, month, and year. They need to understand that clocks and calendars are tools to measure time. You can help your child by using this vocabulary when speaking with your child. I checked Moby Max and some of the students are really moving along through the program and their math skills are progressing.
Religion- We have been talking a lot about prayer and how to pray. Please talk with your children about when and how you pray. We will be talking about Lent starting on Ash Wednesday and we will learn the symbols of Lent and how these symbols help us to understand Holy Week and Easter.
Social Studies- We will learn about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and how they were important to history.
Health- We will learn how healthy habits keep us feeling good so we can learn and grow. We will have a visitor from Ruth Lilly come and talk to us about healthy habits. There will be a special surprise visitor come visit us to teach us about how we can take care of our teeth at the end of the month.
