Field Trip to the Fire Station

February Newsletter

Dear Parents,

During the month of February, we will be learning more about careers, such as policeman, fire fighter, doctor, nurse, astronaut, etc. At home, you talk about your job and ask them what they want to be when they grow up.

Also, we are starting "sharing day" on Fridays, in which each child brings something to show and tell about in class (a book, toy, or anything else they want to share). You can ask your child what they would like to show their friends at SEM and have them bring something each Friday.

Here is a list of the books, songs, and language activities we will cover this month:

Books
Quick as a Cricket, by Audrey Wood
Sheep in a Shop, by Nancy Shaw
Here Are My Hands, by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault

Songs
Four Hugs a Day
Slippery Fish
I am a Pizza

Language
Phonics Alphabet
Sounding out letters s, m, and t
Words which start with s, m, and t

Enjoy your child!

February Newsletter

Dear Parents,

This month we will continue our study of math and numbers. This topic is too broad and too important to cover in just one month. Also, some of our friends will be going on to other schools in March and we want to be sure they're well-prepared for more than English class. So we'll expand our math curriculum to include geometry, telling time and working with larger numbers.

Of course that brings us to the most important event of the month, or maybe of the year. Our Graduation Ceremony will take place on Saturday, February 27th at 5pm. There will be food and an exciting series of performances by our proud graduating class, and students will receive a diploma. We can't wait to see you there.

Enjoy your child!
