The last few weeks in Physical Education the Preschool has enjoyed participating in scooter activities.

We also kicked off our Hoops for Hearts Program on Wednesday. We are excited about collecting donations for the American Heart Association.

The month of February we are learning about Dental Health. Last week we had a visit from a Dental Hygienist who showed us a video and talked about how important it is to take care of our teeth. Visit the dentist 2x a year, brush your teeth 2x a day and brush for 2 minutes. We have discussed Everyone Needs Food, Everyone Needs Exercise and this week will begin our unit on Everyone Need Rest. The children have enjoyed making valentines for their parents and in Religion we have discussed loving one another.

This week in first grade we are really jumping into the winter season by learning about hibernation and migration! Our reading story this week is called "Where are my animal friends?" In spelling we are working with words that have -est and -er endings. In Language Arts we are learning about contractions. In Math we are continuing to study our addition and subtraction facts through twelve and are doing a great job with mental math skills!
