January was filled with fun-packed discussions; after returning from break, the children took time to readjust, and we are happy to have everyone back in school mode. The children studied about Snow, Winter, and Ice, as well as Winter animals and hibernation. The children were excited to learn about polar bears, penguins, and other hibernating animals. They were especially interested in animals that hibernate in caves! Our book of the month, The Mitten, was a huge success. We also studied Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. In which we discussed freedom and cultural differences.

In February, we are studying cultural awareness and friendship. We will be learning about Black history month as well. The contentment of Asia will be our concentration in our Montessori studies. The children will discuss family traditions and cultures, what it means to be a good friend, and being kind to all people. Feb. 7^th is our Open house; please remember it’s an early closure day. On Feb. 14^th, we are celebrating with Valentine’s Day-themed party in each classroom. Your child is welcome to bring in a Valentine for each class member. Sign-ups for the celebration will be posted on your child’s classroom door the week prior.

We are looking forward to the exciting activities February will bring.
