Dear Parents:

This month will be a short one with the February break soon approaching.  Valentine’s Day will be a focus, as well as, finishing up all winter activities.

We have done a number of crafts relating to winter and The North.  The students had a fun time making their edible igloo and growing snow (crystal garden).  We are still building our milk jug igloo, so please keep sending the milk jugs. The new letters of study this month will be Bb, Cc, Ll and Nn.

In math the students will be counting to 60, practise recognizing numbers 1-10, and printing numbers 1-5. The new math unit is entitled: Exploring Numbers 6-10. Please see the mailed sheet for home math ideas.

Being that report cards are getting closer, I am including a list of some of the skills that will be expected for

 Term 2:

        . counting to 50

        . printing of last name

        . knowing phone number

        . printing and recognizing numbers 1-5

        . printing and recognizing letters taught : Pp, Uu, Oo, Mm, Xx, Aa,

           Dd, Tt, Ss, Rr, Hh, Ff, Jj, Kk, and Gg.

        . creating, recognizing and extending patterns

Please feel free to check and reinforce any of these skills at home.

* Also, I have started to do a mid-term letter and sound recognition check. I will send home a note     and letter checklist if I see your child needs extra home support. 

The classroom Valentine’s Party is scheduled for Friday, February14th (Day3). Please feel free to have your child send valentine cards for all the students in the classroom as this is a big part of their enjoyment for the day. Below is a list of each student’s first name in our class:
