Week of February 10-13
Theme: Valentine's Day and Friendship
No letter of the week
Dear Parents,
This week we will be celebrating Valentine's Day and friendships. We will be discussing why we celebrate Valentine's Day and what it means to be a helpful and kind friend.
We are going to be making some heart crafts at school that will be coming home at the end of the week. We will also be working on practicing more patterning and making the patterning more complex with some holiday hearts. We will also practice sorting and graphing with some conversation hearts. During centers we will work on building with letters and identifying letters especially those within our names. We will be participating in some fine motors activities such as cutting and practicing a pincer grasp for writing and pre-writing by using sewing cards and pinching paper to place on a craft.
On Thursday we will be having our Valentine's party for the kids. If your child is bringing in Valentine's cards for their friends please make sure they have one for each child (a.m.=7 kids, p.m.= 13 kids) and that they only sign their name they do not need to place a name on the card for who the card is to. We will be making special mailboxes to place the Valentines in and we will be playing several Valentine's Day games.
Reminders:
No School: February 20th-President's Day
If you have not yet responded to the conference reminder please do so that I am able to schedule your conference in a timely manner. It was nice to meet with the parents I have seen so far and discuss your child's progress and I look forward to seeing everyone that I have not had an opportunity to have a conference with yet.
