I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy during this time. This month, we will talk about love, kindness, friends, sharing, and of course, Valentine’s Day. We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Thursday, February 9th (T/Th) and Friday, February 10th (M/W/F). Please bring valentines to exchange with the class, but DO NOT ADDRESS
them, so that they are easier to exchange. You may write your child’s name on the “from” line. We will be making our own valentines to send home to loved ones as well.
In February, we will focus on letter and name recognition. In preschool, we can do a lot of things to foster children’s recognition of their names. As you may have noticed, their cubbies have had names and pictures to help with identification. We also have letters on the wall with the child’s picture and name. To reinforce their learning even further, we are also using circle time and snack time to practice name recognition. If you point out letters in books, signs, and on everyday objects, you will help reinforce what they are learning in school.
