Week of February 19-21, 2012

Theme: Farm

Letter of the Week: A

Show and Share: Feb. 21 Letter A

We had a great week celebrating Valentine's Day. We practiced different patterns using hearts. We sorted hearts by color, counted them and identifies which color had more and which had less. We practiced some fine motor skills by sewing hearts. We made two Valentine's crafts for those special people at home. On Friday we celebrated Valentine's Day  by passing out Valentine cards to our friends and eating some yummy snacks.

Next week we will be talking about the farm. We are going to sort and count farm animals. We are going to use magnetic tile letters to spell some farm related words. We are going to do some shape matching. We will also be working on matching colors to color words. We are going to be working on positional words when we construct our own farms. We will also be making some farm animals that are going to live on our school farm in the classroom. We will practice some fine motor skills by matching clothes pin legs onto farm animals. In the sensory table we will have rice and some farm animals for us to bury and find. 

Upcoming dates: No school Monday, February 18th, President's Day!

At this point I believe I have contacted everyone regarding parent/teacher conferences and scheduling or rescheduling a date and time. If you have not heard from me and would like to schedule a conference either at school or over the phone please contact me and I will work with you to set up a date and time.
