February Updates

I am very pleased with the way our virtual snow days have been going!  The children are participating and seem to be enjoying most of the activities.  Thank you, parents and grandparents for your help in making these days successful learning days!
FANTASTIC FOURS

• Religion – We completed our unit on Lent and are now learning that God Made Flowers.  Remember that Lent is a special time to show God and others how much you love them and to make Green Choices.  You can continue to fill in your footprints for the good deeds you do.
• Literacy – We have completed the letters through We will likely wrap up our individual alphabet units in a few weeks.  I am excited to see how much the children are learning and applying when we do our letter activities!  We are continuing to review rhyming words and syllables.
• Math – We’ve been practicing counting to 30 and identifying numbers 0 – 20.  We also practiced completing patterns, and adding two numbers together.  The children are getting really good at these activities!
• Science – We learned how to keep our smiles healthy.
