1/2 February News

February 1/2 News


This month the class will be celebrating Chinese New Year by
creating Chinese lanterns, sampling Chinese pastries and focusing on some snake facts{ 2013 year of the snake} and making collage snakes
as well as dough snakes.


Of course we cannot forget about Valentines Day! For the our celebration we will be learning how to make pop up cards and friendship pins. As far as our sweet tooth is concerned we will be baking and decorating cupcakes and trying our hand at making some candies.


Starting this month every Thursday we will have a creative cooking activity in 1/2. Friends have been showing much interest in cooking and baking so we thought this would be fun.  Share your recipes with your child and share stories of where and why it is a favorite!  This activity will take place during our activity time (4:00pm) and all friends will be able to enjoy the
taking part in learning about cooking.


Friday Flip

This is a special treat for the 1st graders. On Fridays the 1st graders get their homework packets for the week.  We encourage your child to work on it as much as they can before the weekend begins. The 3/6 teaching team have been kind enough to offer “homework helpers” from the 3/6 group with us to help out with homework. This is our second week doing this flip and


the homework helpers have been a wonderful.


Days to Note:

Pre-Registration is going on NOW

Feb. 18- 22nd  Presidents Day Vacation


Ice Skaters...
If possible please put ice skates and gear in a proper backpack rather than a cloth handled shopping bag  as it can be challenging for your child to carry the heavy skates to and from Cleveland Circle.

A backpack or wheeled pack is best.
