Welcome to February! This slightly short but busy month begins with Ground Hog Day. This is a fun activity for the children and they look forward to watching the news to see if the Ground Hog sees his shadow! We will make a special craft on Tuesday, the 2nd, to celebrate the ground hog.
This week is an opportunity for a special bike contest sponsored by the Santa Monica Mountains Cyclery. Each student will be given a strip of poster paper on which to create a slogan about why it is great to ride bikes. The slogan can be decorated and all will be due by Friday, February 5th. The judging will take place the following week and a winner will get a new bike! Some of the slogans will be given to the Santa Monica Mountains Cyclery to hang in their window. We will hang our slogans in Room K to celebrate all of our creative artists!
This week we will meet Mr. O, who likes things that are the opposite. This is a great time to practice opposites and it can be a fun car game. "What's the opposite of up?" Let you child practice as many as you can think of!
The 10th of February will be the 100th Day of School. Your child will bring home a special bag on Monday and can return it anytime during the week, but it must be here by the 9th so we will have it here for the 10th!
This week we will be beginning music with Sean (Desmond's dad) on Friday morning between 8:30-9:00. If you play an instrument and would like to join in, please do! We can sing along with you. The kids love folk songs and and kids songs. We are really excited to begin our special Friday's.
I will be assessing the children this week with the Educational Software for Guided Instruction program that I use. It is not a timed test! It is completed individually using the computer and I sit with each child to complete the different sections of the assessment. I use a variety of assessments, including teacher observation, to determine the grades for the report card which will be given out in March.
This is a reminder that the January Book Chart is due. Please send it in as soon as possible!
A big thank you to Dina for contributing more ink for our classroom printer. We are going to enjoy printing!
Monday: P.E.,
Tuesday, Speech & Language, Art Trek (begin working on Art Gallery Project!)
Wednesday: P.E.
Thursday: Science
Friday: Morning Assembly, Music with Sean, Homework Review, Sharing, Library, Treasure Box, Big Buddies
Thank you all for helping in Room K, at home and most of all for supporting your children's learning. Room K rocks!
