Februrary 20-24

KM’s Week in Review:

Monday:

No School

Tuesday:

No School

Wednesday:  We spent most of the day learning all about President’s Day!  The President of the US sure has a very big job!  We also focused on Abraham Lincoln and what a wonderful and honest man he was.  We made a log cabin and learned about the funny jokes he play on his family.   Springfield, IL is a very educational place to visit!

Thursday:  We moved on to discuss George Washington and how he was the first President of the US.  He did not want to be the President; however, he gave it his all and did a great job!  The kids had fun making their own “George Washington.”

Friday:  We have learned so many fun and interesting facts about presidents!  Today we were able to write and draw rules we would like to make if we were presidents.  We enjoyed sharing them.  We read two books about our current Mr. President B. Obama.  It was a great week!

Weekly News

KM’s Week in Review:
 Monday:
This week we are focusing on the letter Hh.  Our sight word is you.  The students listened to the classic story, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  The students really enjoyed creating a list of what the caterpillar ate! 
Tuesday:   
Happy Valentine’s Day!!  Thank you to all of the parents who were able to come and volunteer at the party today.  We are all so appreciative of all of the parents!  It was fun making Valentine bags and reading many Valentine books. 
Wednesday: 
We continued to celebrate Valentine’s Day today reading books and doing some writing projects.  We also spent time using craft sticks to make patterns and then played a dice game.  Math is fun! 
Thursday:
Reading to someone is Daily 5 is really enjoyed by the students.  I can see the pride on their face when they read aloud to their friends and reading to others promotes their confidence.  It is also really good for the students to hear their friends reading aloud to them!
Friday:
Today we have been busy doing activities with the letter Hh, rhyming words and discussing opposites.  We had a great time learning about Zhen during his All About Me!
