Dear Parents!
This school year seems to be flying by at a rapid pace! Ah, the month of February has arrived with much to celebrate! Can you believe the 100th day of school is right around the corner? We will spend our 100th day in our classroom focused on the number 100. Come see the different items we used to number 100! It surely will be a fantastic wonderful 100th day! We have so much love for our family and friends. We will focus on what it means to be a great friend as we celebrate Valentine's Day too. It will be a busy month of simple celebrations.
Punxsutawney Phil is gearing up for his annual February outing. On Groundhog's Day, we will look for our shadows. What is a shadow? How does light affect a shadow? Legend has it that if that groundhog sees his shadow, we are in for six more long weeks of Winter. We will continue learning our Winter facts. We also have some scientific experiments to do as we investigate what happens if we bring frozen ice into our classroom. Have you ever painted with ice cubes?
There are many fun activities to be done even in the cold Winter months.
In our Pre-School classroom, birthdays are always very special. President Lincoln and President Washington both celebrated their birthdays within the month of February. We celebrate President's Day in honor of these two men who made such a difference to our country. We will investigate some of their contributions as Presidents and think about what we would do to make this country a better place if we become a U.S. President some day!
Look for the Letter V and Letter Q to visit our classroom this month!!!
Fondly,
T. Lisa
