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.

This months theme is hearts and emotions. In addition we will be talking about Ground Hog Day and doing activities with shadows; Valentine’s Day activities; how our letters are delivered by the postman; and the presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Since it is black history month we will also be learning about famous Afro-Americans. Math activities will include patterning and the numbers 1-10. The letters H and V will be introduced and the colors Red, Pink, and Purple. 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 18th: 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 Thursday, February 14th. We will also have a Valentines day party. 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 (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!
