Our unit for February will feature “Community Helpers”, we will emphasize that each of you is a community helper. We will need a lot of help! We will be sending a “homework” sheet home. Please fill one out for each adult member of the child’s family. If you need more than one sheet, please request it. Directions are on the sheet. Our lessons throughout February are based upon the “homework” sheets. We will not be able to teach effectively without help from you! Please help us.

Beginners will be given many opportunities to practice verbally identifying facial features and to point to other body parts. They will use three to six-piece puzzles and match objects to pictures of objects. The youngsters will focus much of their efforts on learning to dress themselves. This is important in developing independence and self-esteem.

Preschool children will focus on personal safety practices. We will emphasize teaching information children need for their own protection if lost or kidnapped. They will be learning their own full names, their parents’ names, addresses, and phone numbers. They will learn how to call 911 and give emergency information. Care will be taken to teach these skills without frightening the children. We will also use the Community Helper theme to work on some self-help skills such as recognition of body parts and dressing skills. Children who are ready will work on recognizing the alphabet and other pre-reading skills.
