February has been busy month. I am seeing so much progress in the classroom and am so proud of our little people! This month we will be continuing with our Handwriting Without Tears printing program as well as continuing to learn our alphabet and letter sounds. We will also continue to practice your child’s last name. Most students now have a good handle on the numbers to 10 therefore we will be revisiting number concepts and measuring. March is nutrition month so we will be learning about the food groups and healthy eating habits.
