Happy Valentine's Day!
We will be exchanging Valentine's tomorrow and on Monday. We have friends who have been sick or out of town and would like to give them an opportunity on Monday to pass out their Valentine's. This week we decorated bags for the Valentine's to go into and students will be able to take those home tomorrow. We ask that candy is not passed out with the
Valentine's. There are still a few class lists outside the door if you have not picked one up or you can simply just sign the 'from' space for 22 students and 2 teachers:)
Ms. Leah has been working with the students on an art project. They have made 'Love Butterfly'. The students trace, cut out and glue two hearts together. They then decorate them and write down what love is to them. You can check these out in the hallway.
Students have been busy working in their phonetic letter books, word family or sight word books. We have also been playing the banker's game. This teaches units, tens, hundreds and thousands numbers and amounts. Students learn how to count large amounts, build numbers and large numbers.
Conferences are next Thursday and the following Friday. The sign up sheet is still outside the door. If you are unable to make it please let Ms. Leah or myself know and we will schedule a time that works for all of us.
Spanish (a little late)
Pre- school January Updates:
In January we have continued with the unit “ La Familia”. I showed them different families pictures where they have been able to recognize and say each member of the family in Spanish.
Also, I tried to mix the class with different activities such as songs, dancing, flash cards and books. A few weeks ago, I started reading Spanish books to them as “Las Hermanitas” (It is about two sisters), “La Familia” (the Family), and “Rubia y los tres osos” (the blond girl and the three bears), these books have a small vocabulary in Spanish. These books are easy for the kids to understand the story.
This month, we are going to continue with the family members unit, and I will add the topic “Saint Valentine’s Day” as a cultural topic.
