Hello Parents! It was so great seeing you all on Friday. Thank you so much for the kind words. Mrs. Gonzalez and I are forever thankful and I am incredibly blessed to be their teacher. Also, I hope every one enjoyed the warm weather this weekend! This is one crazy Winter so far but I am definitely not complaining!

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 Pp, 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 2nd is Groundhog Day! We will learn more using our Scholastic weekly reader. I am praying we will have an early Spring!

We will also be creating various Valentine’s Day crafts in lieu of the upcoming holiday. Please keep an eye out on our ClassDojo for more information regarding celebrations and announcements.

For Jesus Time, we will continue to recite our new prayer. Mrs. Gonzalez will continue to discuss Jesus as a little boy, the story of how he was baptized, and how he choose 12 disciples. We will sing a new song titled “Follow Me”.
