More About the Moon and Valentine's Day

On Monday this week we finished learning about the moon by talking about the phases of the moon.

We also talked about the letter T this week. You probably noticed a paper in your child's backpack that said "SEEL At Home". SEEL stands for Systematic, Engaging Early Literacy and is a program I love to use. You will be seeing activities from the program come home about once a week for the remainder of the year. Please take the time to do these with your child to reinforce what they are learning in class! If you would like more information about the SEEL program, please check out this website: http://education.byu.edu/seel/what_is_seel.html

We also had lots of fun with Valentine's Day this week! We used hearts to make a valentine's monster and to learn more about patterns! The kids had tons of fun making Valentine's gifts for their parents. The jars make cute candle holders, pencil holders, vases or anything else you can think of!

About the School

We will be working on all the academic skills your child needs to be ready for kindergarten such as: alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes. We will also be focusing on some other skills that students need such as socialization, following directions and motor skills. We will be learning these through music, play, and classroom time. I strongly believe that children learn by doing, so most of our time will be spent in hands on activities. Each month we focus on a different theme to help us get excited about our learning and to learn a little bit about science and social studies along the way!
