President's Day
During the month of February we celebrate President's Day to honor all our presidents past and present. Since George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were born in February they tend to be the focus of our month. In keeping with that tradition and to familiarize our children with these two men who were so influential in our countries history, Mrs. Onorato and I have planned a joint activity. Mrs. Onorato's class will research George Washington and "teach" our class about him. Our class will become experts on Abraham Lincoln and impart our knowledge on the students in Mrs. Onorato's class. The children are encouraged to visit their own library to check out a biography on Abraham Lincoln (and George Washington, if you'd like) and read it with you at home. They can also bring any books they check out to school and share it with the class.
Reading/Writing Workshop
In reading we will focus on biographies. The children will work on a timeline after reading a biography of a famous person. They will share some of the information on their timeline with the class.
Valentine's Party
Our party will be Tuesday from 2:00 to 3:00. Every child should bring a Valentine for each of their classmates, cards only, no edible treats please. They will be having something to eat at the party.
Math
We have begun a new chapter in math. We are learning about solid geometric shapes. In addition to the names of the shapes the childlren will learn about the attributes of solid figures, face, edge, and vertex.
