 What we are doing: Our Literary unit for this month is “I Love you” & the nursery rhyme is “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue.” The story has colorful pictures with short phrases. along with rhyming throughout the reading. We will compare items of different sizes, ordering them from smallest to largest, use objects found in the story to practice positional concepts and put items together that have a common theme from the story and everyday items we see around us.

 Our number for February is 7, so we will review numbers 1-6, (identifying, counting sets of objects/ participate in movements for numbers 1-6 , really focusing on counting 1 to 1 as we go through the movement and stopping when we get to the designated #). We will also enjoy learning new songs/rhymes related to Valentines.
