February News

 February 10, 2026

Dear PreK Families, 

VINS came to visit the classroom today to teach the students about bears. We had a puppet show, songs, and many hands on activities.

 

In literacy, we have started learning how to write the uppercase letters of the alphabet. We will work on 2-3 letters each week and be finished in April. If your child is writing at home, please remind them to use the pincer grip and to write from the top to the bottom. We use the Fundations PreK Activity Set for letter instruction. 

On Friday, we will celebrate Valentine’s Day in our class with a card exchange and a special snack. Please prepare cards at home for your child to pass out to classmates. There are 11 students. You can just have your child sign their name if they know how to do so, or an adult can write for them. You do not need to label them with each person’s name. 

In math this month the topic is bears. Using the bear theme, we are working on counting sets, reading and writing numerals, showing and solving addition problems, sorting and patterning, and graphing. 

On Friday, February 20th we will have pajama day and a Teddy Bear Party. Your child may wear pajamas to school. Please choose pjs that will fit under snow clothes and that your child can wear shoes with. Please choose a bear that can fit inside your child’s backpack. We will do several math activities with our bears. On that day the students can also play with their bears during centers and sleep with them at nap time. 

A sign-up sheet for PTC will come out next week, so look for that in your email. 

Thanks, 

Amy
