February is a fun month for the kids at school! We celebrated a lot of holidays, including Presidents Day, Ground Hog Day (Yaaayy Spring!!), Valentines Day <3, our 100th Day of School, and this year was a Leap Year! We had a couple of snow days resulting in us missing our Swimming Field Trip. Thankfully we are rescheduled to go April 14th, the Tuesday after our Spring Break. The kids loved our second trip to life town, they explored more things this time around, and some students were brave and touched a snake at the pet shop! When we weren’t out enjoying the community, or celebrating the various holiday’s with fun activities, we were working hard in the classroom. Our monthly focus for math was dealing with shapes. We focused on circles, squares, and triangles! We used play dough to create our shapes, we found items in our class that looked like our shapes, we created monsters with all our different shapes, and we matched the shapes! Our monthly focus for reading was identifying beginning, middle, and end events from a familiar story. The kids enjoyed the various books we read this month, especially Little Raindrops, Frog in Love, Sneezy the Snowman, and Snow Days! For our writing lessons we focused on using the letters L, M, N, & O. The kids found our letter craft to be fun and enjoyed making their choices and writing a sentence that matches our letter. Our science activities continued to be about the weather and what seasons we see them in. We crafted our own storm clouds and added lightening! We made rainbows, and suns! The kids crated storm clouds and played with shaving cream as a cloud sensory. I think the kids favorite part was when Ms. Dawn, and Ms. Emily joined our class to help us make rainbow foam, and play dough for our math shapes!
