February was a busy, fun-filled month with many holidays to celebrate. We began the month celebrating Black History Month. The students learned about Louis Armstrong, Jackie Robinson and George Washington Carver. Each day the students completed a craft to help them remember each person. We then celebrated Valentine’s Day with various math worksheets, crafts and of course sharing Valentine cards and treats. Dr. Chung visited our school to give a presentation on dental health. We continued our learning as we talked about nutritious foods and brushing our teeth. We ended up the month celebrating Presidents’ Day with stories, crafts, and building a log cabins. 

In readiness and writing, the students learned to form and trace the letters A and M, the shapes triangle, diamond, and heart, as well as the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 9. 

In math, the students learned to sort a collection of objects, place the numbers 1 through 10 in order and identify a missing number. The students practiced counting objects and identifying the biggest and smallest objects, as well as which object is different from the rest. The students graphed candy hearts and teeth. The students also learned to create an AB pattern, acted out story problems, covered designs using pattern blocks, and identify ordinal position to fourth. 

In language and literacy, we played ask and tell, all about me and guessing games as we encouraged the students to answer in complete sentences and share experiences with the class. We focused on listening and following instructions from the teachers, songs, and friends. As we read the various holiday books, we discussed the stories, characters and reviewed the parts of a book.

In February we completed letter crafts O is for Olaf, P is for Pig, Q is for Queen.
