February

Literacy/Science
We are learning about how the seasons change.  We are talking about the different seasons, their characteristics, and the cycle of the seasons.  

Students have also had the opportunity to practice identifying letters as consonants or vowels.  They have been introduced to vowels having two sounds: long and short.  The kiddos are identifying these types of sounds in words.

Math
We have just completed counting groups and writing numbers 11-20.  We are now moving on to decomposing numbers 11-19, showing how these numbers can be broken apart by saying "10 and another number."

Handwriting
Students have completed practicing all of their lowercase letter formations.  Students are encouraged to do all of their writing with lowercase letters now.  They are practicing in their handwriting books by writing words and sentences.

Religion
We are discussing the sacrament of Baptism and how it is a welcome into the church family.  They are beginning to understand the importance of water in the church and how it symbolizes life.
