Licensed Home Child Care

We are now in the month of love and giving. We will be learning about people who gave to our country and about loving and caring for our friends and family.

Themes for this month: This month we will be talking about Ground Hog Day; doing activities with shadows; Valentine’s Day; activities with the color red; the heart shape; how our letters are delivered by the postman; the presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln; and famous inventors. Since it is black history month we will also be learning about famous black Americans. Math activities will include patterning, graphing, and the numbers 6 through 10. The letters H and V will be introduced and the colors Red, Blue, and White. Concepts we will work on are Open-Closed and Above-Below.

Special Days:

February 2nd: Groundhog Day

February 12th: Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday

February 14th: Valentine’s Day February 21st: President’s Day

February 22nd: George Washington’s Birthday

**We will NOT be closing for any of these events.**

Valentines Day: Please bring in Valentine’s cards by February 11th so we can exchange them on Monday, February 14th. We will also have a Valentines day party in the afternoon on the 14th. I will put out a sing up sheet for the party.

 Things to do with your child: Write a letter to a friend or family member and send it in the mail. This letter can be a drawing or written words or a combination of the two (even our littlest one can make a few marks on a card). Read together about Valentine’s Day or other book about our themes this month. Do something kind together for a neighbor. Make heart shaped cookies together and count them. Work on the concepts, colors, numbers, and math we are learning this month. Have Fun!
