Circle Time
During our circle time, we begin our class by singing a good morning song, counting how many kiwis came to school today, the weather and days of the week. This is also when we we introduce the activities as well as reviewing letters and numbers.
Third Week
School will be closed on Monday, February 19^th for Presidents day. We will take this opportunity to learn about presidents on Tuesday. By reading about president George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, our kiwis will learn about past presidents. We will also learn of some important roles the president plays in our country.
Fourth Week
During our last week of February we will learn about our community helper, the doctor. Our dramatic area will be turned into a doctor’s office by including a stethoscope, bandages, medicine syringe, and gloves. Other activities such as making x-rays, band-aid art, and an ambulance will further assist in learning about doctors.
