February



Valentine's Day
At our Valentine's Day Party we will play games, decorate a Valentine box, and distribute Valentines.  Please have your child bring one Valentine for each student (including themselves).  Have your child sign his/her name on the back of the Valentine, but do not address them.  It can be frustrating for the children to write, read and match up all the names.  There will be a sign-up sheet available for those that would like to contribute items for our party.  Please feel free to contact me if you have a special item you would like to send for the party.

Reading
We have been focusing on the parts of a story.  Good questions to ask when you read with your child are:
-          Who was in the story?
-          Where did the story take place?
-          What was the problem in the story?
-          How was the problem solved?
-          How did the character feel at the beginning/end of the story?

It’s also a good idea to ask your child what he/she predicts will happen in the story before you read.  Then check afterward to see if their prediction came true.  Happy Reading!

Math
This month we will start our money and time unit.

We are still practicing counting by 10.  

field Trip
We are going on a Field Trip to a dentist office!
