February

WOW!! So much to cover in a short month!

Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day, President's Day, Black History month, Dental month, the list goes on and on!

In Kindergarten and 1st grade we will cover Groundhog Day, Valentine's Day and how important it is to take care of our teeth. We'll revisit some of our favorite characters like Arthur, Franklin and Henry and Mudge.

Second graders will hit on all of the previous subjects and President's Day too. We will highlight Minnie and Moo, Cam Jansen and the Pee Wee Scouts for these topics.

As the last third graders finish up their biography reports, we will end our biography study in the library too this week...although in the springtime we will have one more. We have had a great time learning about the lives of Snowflake Bentley, Frank L. Baum, Snowshoe Thompson, Sacagewea and Duke Ellington. In February we will focus on President's Day and Black History month.

And our fourth graders will be busy as always. This week they are learning about what it takes to be the President of the United States. After that we will spend two weeks reading Patricia Polacco's newest book called January's Sparrow, which will be a perfect segue into President's Day and Black History month.

And behind the scenes we are processing hundreds of new books for our library that will be hitting the shelves soon!
