Have a great month!

February is off to a great start with our annual Scholastic Book Fair. Scholastic has added a payment by credit card feature to this year's fair, and as always there will be plenty to choose from. To help celebrate our Book Fair we will be having a special presentation by a local author George Smith, who will be sharing one of his books with the children. This February also has a lot of our Preschool through Kindergarten children very excited as Tiger Schulman's Karate Cubs program will be here at the school. In mid February the entire building will be movin' and groovin' to Mr. Scott and his music show, which is always a blast! I want to congratulate Miss Cherrell who was recognized at our January staff meeting for her recent academic achievements at OCC. and wish a Happy Birthday to all of our February Friends!

Lovely Lobsters

All our new friends are having fun being Lovely Lobsters. We are enjoying watching the snow fall from the sky. We also have been learning about the cold weather. We had fun making our own snowball and then watching it melt. The Lovely Lobsters really got excited when we got to make and eat snow cones, they were so yummy! Show and Tell is a big hit in our class, everyone loves bringing in things from home to show to their friends! The Disney Friends theme got everyone excited to talk and learn about all of our favorite Disney friends. We are looking forward to celebrating Valentine's Day with lots of goodies and treats, we will also be giving all of our friends some valentines. Throughout the month of February will be taking "A Trip Around Town", we will be visiting the doctors, the post office, a construction site and a museum!

Sparkling Seahorses

The first month of our New Year has come to an end, the Seahorses were very happy to get back to our classroom routine and join their friends again. January brought cooler weather, however we managed to keep warm and cozy inside with our "Winter Reading Fun!" Nursery rhymes and Disney stories were a wonderful addition to our weekly themes. We had a fantastic time with various science experiments such as creating our own snow, planting a winter crystal garden and practicing our measuring skills using colored ice cubes at the water table. It was snoooow much fun! We learned about the letters Q, R, S, T and U and their sound. Our math skills are developing nicely with addition and subtraction and the use of plus, minus and equal signs. I would like to thank all the parents who attended their Parent/Teacher Conferences it was a pleasure to share your child's progress with you. In February we will explore "All Around Town", finding out if the groundhog will see his shadow, taking care of our heart and teeth, learning about our Presidents and of course sharing our love on "Valentine's Day". We would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Lauren, Alicia and Justin!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

We will also be all about love and kindness for Valentine's Day! The Starfish will continue learning about measurement and some probability. Please keep up on these sight words, because reading-here we come! Please reinforce to your child that reading takes practice and if they can "read" these words they are doing great! We are all looking forward to all of our guest readers, thank you for sharing your time with us! Happy Birthday to Zayne, Keara and Anthony V.

Happy Valentine's Day!
