Theme: Friendship and the words: Valentine's Day, friend, love, candy, and share.
Nursery Rhyme:Skidamarink, I Love You. 
In math they will learn about patterns, the students will identify and copy an AB pattern. Please take a look at the following site if you want to know more about patterns in preschool. http://www.education.com/magazine/article/preschool-math-patterns/
In the month of February, we celebrate friendship. We will be discussing ways to be a good friend. The lower elementary children will all be wearing a bracelet this whole month to school to indicate that we are all good friends and the importance of it. Make sure your child wears this bracelet daily.


 We encourage you to visit the review sites for the lessons we are currently studying.

 To celebrate Valentine´s Day we are asking you that next Thursday February 13^th Each student brings a special Valentine´s treat to share with all of their classmates.

This may be in the form of a card, a picture, sweets, or anything else that you would like to share.  This is a great time to involve your child in the process and ask him/her for ideas. Please simply write your child’s name on every card or treat. This way, your child can personally deliver a treat to each friend without having to read a name.

Thank you for your cooperation.
