Well, we were busy today celebrating Groundhog Day. We made cupcakes that looked like groundhogs and read some books that discussed Groundhog Phil and his shadow. We were going to make puppets but ran out of time. We will make the puppets in the morning. The children explored magnets and made a little book about magnets. They enjoyed that and I let them take their time.
Thank you for the glue sticks and dry erase markers!! They are very much appreciated and the children are putting them to good use.
We are discussing time to the hour and half hour this week. We will also touch on objects in the sky. Children will learn about the sun, moon, and stars. This will be basic information in order to prepare them for a more in depth study in their future years. :)
We continue to really push reading. Please be sure to read with your child every night. At the same time, children will be doing more writing. They are using words in sentences and working up to writing stories. Whenever your child is writing require that they use a pencil. Also have them check for: spacing of words, an uppercase letter at the beginning of the sentence and end punctuation.
Thank you for being involved in your child's education!!!
