February is Here!

February is a very fun month in our classroom! Groundhog Day, 100th day of school and Valentine's Day! We had a great time on Monday learning about Groundhog Day. Each child made a prediction about the groundhog seeing his shadow. Half of the class thought he was going to see his shadow and the other half thought he wasn't going to see his shadow. Well, he saw his shadow and that means 6 more weeks of winter! The groundhog is only right about 37% of the time. I think he is right this year, because we all know that it started snowing on Groundhog Day. Phil is a smart little animal! Today Mrs. Warren and I worked in the classroom. It is great getting some time to organize, clean and prepare for the upcoming week. We did miss the children! I hope the children enjoyed their day off. They have Thursday off too! The 100th day has moved to Friday. We will be counting, making a 100th day book and finding 100 items hidden in the room. Next week we are reading Valentine's books, making our Valentine's mailbox, making a pop-up card, making a love bug, sorting and graphing conversation hearts, making a conversation heart pattern, writing our numbers 1 to30, conversation heart estimation activity, Valentine erase a rhyme, observing what happens to a conversation heart when you put it in a cup of water and much more! Thank you for all you do!
