FEBRUARY

Where is the time going??!! Groundhogs day came and went so quickly, we didn't even get to "predict" about his shadow! Lots of the kids know that he SAW his shadow.  Ugh, 6 more weeks of winter... I sure hope we can get through it!

The week of Feb. 12th-16th we will start our Valentine unit.  Targeted areas will be vocabulary, syntax, grammar, traditions, speech sounds and reading a few books.

***Of course I have a game with "chocolate"!!****

We will read the book Love, Ruby Valentine by Laurie Friedman.  Ruby is a busy little girl, who realizes she slept through Valentines Day!  Ask your child what the town people thought about it?!!  

The week of the 19th-21st we will celebrate our Presidents! Board games, bingo games, and of course talking about money!

DON'T FORGET WE DON'T HAVE SCHOOL ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23RD. Teachers will be in Professional Development that day.  I personally will be attending the Special Education conference and will be gone on Thursday, Feb. 26th as well.

**Report Cards will be going out toward the end of this month, so I will be sending home progress reports for your students!  Please feel free to call me at Webster 786-6118 with questions or concerns.  I have started seeing progress in almost all of my students.  Great News!**

SNEAK PEEK!!!!  Next month we celebrate Reading Month!  It's always a lot of fun, and we do such fun lessons..... just a "hint" as to the theme this year.....
