WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

Despite shortening our week with a snow day we had a lot of fun exploring traditional tales. The children enjoyed some of the old stories and rhymes and reviewing some stories that they had heard before. We also got to go outside and enjoy the snow.

Hopefully this week the temperatures will be warm enough for us to explore all of the new snow from this weekend. (The feels like temperature needs to be at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit.) This week we will focus on fairy tales. There will be interesting characters and rhyming and adventures. We will work on writing S, J, and D. Social/emotional lessons will focus on “Fair Ways to Play”.

Valentine’s Day Party

On February 14 we will be doing a Valentine’s Day party during class. It will be from snack time on. (10-110:30 and 1:55-3:15) I am looking for a couple of parents that would be able to come in and help with the parties. Also, the children are asked to bring a Valentine for each of their classmates. These can be store bought or hand made. Your choice. If your child will need help making their Valentine’s please let me know and I can help them at school.

That day we will play some games and the children will help to pass out their Valentine’s. 

No School

Please note that this Monday and Tuesday are no school days for the public schools and therefore for 4K as well.

Boston School Forest

On April 16 4K will be going to the Boston School Forest. Students will go during their class period. We will leave as soon as we start class and return just before class time ends. If you are interested in volunteering we would love to have you. You would have to fill out a volunteer form for Canaland ahead of time. Please let me know if you want to attend.

January Activity Calendar

Keep working on those January calendars. There are some good ideas.
