Hello Parents! It’s been a cold and snowy weekend! I hope everyone was safe and warm. Before returning back to school this Monday, please continue to fill out the daily attestations upon arrival. It’s a great asset when staying on top of this unpredictable virus.
We will be going back to our curriculum and starting Theme 5 “Imagine It, Make It” and Unit 1 “Using My Imagination”. BIG Idea: I can imagine all kinds of things. Knowledge Focus: Children learn how imagination and creativity shape our world. Social-Emotional Focus: Initiative. The theme vocabulary words include: create, imagination, imagine, pretend and visualize. Math vocabulary words include: numerals and quantity.
We will be learning the letter Oo, number 15 and continue to review shapes and colors. We will be reading the books “Not A Box”, “The Shape of Things”, “Ten Black Dots” and “Feast For 10”. February is Black History Month so we will be learning about various people who made a huge impact throughout society. February 1st is also the Lunar New Year. We will have a special guest visit us via zoom to speak about his family’s traditions for the New Year. February 2nd is Groundhog Day! We will learn more using our Scholastic weekly reader.
Mrs. Gonzalez will be discussing Jesus as a little boy and when he was baptized.
