February Preschool News




Our Famous Artists unit was a big hit! We had fun recreating famous works of art, and I enjoy hearing that the children are bringing home some of their new knowledge. Portfolios will come home the first week of February.

February Learning Themes
Healthy Hearts and Safe Bodies
Taking care of our bodies is important to our health. This includes eating well, getting plenty of sleep and exercise, and staying safe. We will be looking at food charts in America and other parts of the world. We will identify sources of food, and recognize, prepare, eat and discuss the value of healthy food. We will also talk about different ways to exercise and stay safe.
