In the month of February we learned about winter weather, colors, clothes, and body parts.  We also read books, sang songs, and made arts and crafts about winter.

All the children made Valentines gifts for their families, and made cards for each other.

The children love pets, so we discussed different pets, what sounds they make, what they eat, and where they live.  We also started talking about fruits and vegetables because we want to be healthy.

Trinity, Larissa and Jada are developing language skills very quickly.They know how to say childrens names, and some other words.

With the weather warming up, we will be going outside a lot more, so please dress your child weather-appropriate.

We will also talk about rain! We are going to sing and learn a new song called “Singing in the Rain”. Hopefully, there will be some puddles that the children can splash in. We will also sing other songs, such as : “Rain, rain go away” and “It’s raining, its pouring”.

In January we learned about winter from every aspect (snow, colors, winter clothes). Children made a lot of crafts with different materials (glue, paint fabric) and observed how snow turned to ice and water.

The childrens’ favorite song that we sung every morning was “Hello…It’s nice to see you here.” They learned friends names from this song.

We would like to welcome back Hunter, who is 1 year old now. Larissa and Trinity are learning to talk and they like craft activities very much. Jada is starting to eat by herself and loves books. Caleigh is very independent, she is eating and sleeping without help. Justin is learning to talk, share toy, and be gentle with his friends. Egor is adjusting very well and isn’t crying when his mom leaves.

December was action packed with preparation for Christmas. Our Christmas party, on December 18, was well attended. It was so good to see that so many extended family members were able to attend. I hope everybody enjoyed our performances. All the children loved Santa Claus who came to the party and the magic show by Richard the Magician. All the staff would like to thank parents for their nice Christmas gifts.

This year again, in each room, staff will be writing monthly observations about each child in the child’s individual book. If any of the parents would like to view their child’s observation book, please talk to staff.

It’s sad to see our baby room teacher Stacey go, but we will wish her all the best and hopefully in a year she will come back with her baby.

Yours Truly,

We hope everybody had nice Christmas holidays. This month we’ll be talking about snow. We will continue talking about the letters of the alphabet, and counting up to 20. The weather was very cold and we spent many days playing inside, so instead of water in the water table, we will bring snow from outside so children can put their gloves on and play with the snow. We also had a few experiments where we put a glass of water in the freezer, and it turned into ice. When the weather gets warmer, we would like to go outside, so please send all of your child’s outdoor gear so they can enjoy the fresh air. For all the kindergarten parents, please inform the staff about special school closure days. Staff is asking the parents not to bring any Kraft Dinner for your child’s lunch. We would like to wish happy birthday to Colby and Aaliyah who will be turning 5.
