Homework Alert: February

This month you have several assignments!

Our theme for February will feature “Community Helpers.”

We will emphasize that each of you is a community helper based on the work you do. Please spend some time with your child completing the COMMUNITY HELPERS WORKSHEET.

Download and print as many as you need to fill one out for each adult member of your child’s family. Directions are on the sheet. Many of our lessons throughout February are based upon this worksheets — your input will create a terrific learning opportunity.

We will also have a COMMUNITY HELPERS SHOW & TELL Please send something that you use in your job. Things will be displayed in the Discovery Room. Each child will use their parent’s tools for a Community Helper show & tell” on a special day to be posted.

 

Valentines Day

We will have an exchange of valentines during the week of Feb. 12 – 16. On any of these days your child may bring 20 valentines signed with his or her own name. This is good motivation for practicing name writing. But… it is a big job to write your name 20 times, so please get the valentines early so they can do one or two a night. Remember parents! One upper case letter to start the name, and the rest lower case. We will decorate bags at school to hold the valentines which the children will distribute when they bring them to school.

Another way we teach the children to express their love is to make and send Valentines to their Grandparents. As a bonus they also learn about our postal service and how the mail works. So much fun! To participate, please send in an addressed envelope for each Grandparent you would like to receive a valentine by February 9.

Our Theme in FEBRUARY

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.

We will also have a COMMUNITY HELPERS SHOW & TELL Please send something that you use in your job.  Things will be displayed in the Discovery Room.  Each child will use their parent’s tools for a Community Helper show & tell” on a special day to be posted.

Skill Goal Focus in FEBRUARY

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.
