Hello Parents! I hope everyone enjoyed the last few days of warm weather. Isn’t it beautiful the way mother nature operates! One day its 55 and sunny and the next its snowing! Please stay safe and please continue to fill out the daily attestations upon arrival.
Reminder: Valentine’s Day celebration will be held on Monday 2/14/22! Thank you to all who volunteered to bring in special goodies/treats for our class to celebrate.
We are continuing Theme 5 “Imagine It, Make It” and starting Unit 3 “Things We Build”. BIG Idea: I can use different materials to make new things. Knowledge Focus: Children learn how imagination and creativity shape our world. Social-Emotional Focus: Initiative. The theme vocabulary words include: construct, materials, invention and plan. Math vocabulary words include: flip, rotate, structure, taller and wider.
We will be learning the letter Qq, number 17 and continue to review shapes and colors. We will be reading the books “The Three Little Pigs”, “White Rabbit’s Color Book”, “Buildings” and continue “Alphabet Under Construction”. We will continue to learn about influential people of color to honor Black History Month. This week we are taking a closer look at George Washington Carver’s life and the impact he had on society. In honor of President’s Day on 2/21/22 and since we won’t be in school, we will be discussing George Washington and Abe Lincoln. We will be creating a silhouette as a class craft of the children to replicate the Washington Monuments.
For Jesus Time, Mrs. Gonzalez will discuss how Jesus loves the children and ways we can see that in our everyday lives. We will also sing the song “Jesus Loves Me”.
