As we say goodbye to January, we say goodbye to the wonderful work we explored with landforms, rocks and minerals, and, of course, our model volcano! We also read several versions of the old folktale, "Stone Soup." Through each telling, we learned about elements of literature, such as characters, setting, and plot, as we compared and contrasted these stories. Unfortunately, this year, we were not able to make a stone soup in the classroom, but we believe the lesson of sharing and cooperation is still important!
February is our month to learn about Presidents, money, and, of course, Valentine's Day. We do allow students to exchange Valentines. Each child will decorate a "mail bag" in which to collect their Valentine cards and gifts. We do ask that you do not individually address cards and gifts to children, as that slows down the process of delivery. Of course, we encourage every student who is able to sign their own names! Reminder: we have 32 students in class.
