Kindergarten
February
February brings many wonderful activities to kindergarten! We
celebrate the 100th Day,
Dental Health month, Groundhog’s Day,
President’s Day, and Valentine’s Day.
During the month of February, please review letters and their
corresponding sounds with your child.
We have worked on M, F, S, H, T, C, P,
A, L, G, O, and R. This month we will
continue our work in the language arts
program and discuss characters, fiction
versus non-fiction, and the setting of a
story.
In math, the students will learn to count by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s.
Zero the Hero will visit on the 100th
day! The students are eager to meet the
person responsible for their delicious
snacks every tenth day. We will also
extend our learning about measurement in
standard and non-standard units. We
will also revisit money and the values
of pennies, nickels, dimes, and
quarters. Please reinforce this at home
by allowing your child to sort and
express the value of any loose change
you receive while shopping with your
child.
In science, we explore dinosaurs and dental health. The students
will perform an experiment that
highlights the effects of sugar and
acids on teeth. This will help the
children make the connection between
their tooth enamel and how the foods
they eat affect their dental health. We
are also learning about dinosaurs. Most
students are astounded that even the
largest dinosaurs begin as hatchlings
inside an egg!
Please remember to keep toys at home. We have many wonderful
manipulatives, games, and learning tools
for the students to work with at
play-center time. Also, remember that
candy is not allowed in school at any
time. Please do not attach candy to
your child’s valentines. The room
mothers have already planned a wonderful
day of engaging games and delicious
snacks for the students. We look
forward to the yummy snacks you send in
for our parties!
