Kindergarten - Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Strell

 
February may be a short month but it is a very busy one in Kindergarten. The children will celebrate their 100th day of school and Valentine’s Day! They will wear T-shirts they designed at home with 100 items and will participate in many fun activities all day long to celebrate this milestone. They will also celebrate Valentine’s Day with a special treat and pass out Valentine notes just like Saint Valentine did so many years ago.    
 
In Religion, the class learned that February is a time of showing love of God and others through prayers, sacrifices and good deeds. 
 
The children had fun in Science learning about Groundhogs and shadows. They even had the opportunity to make shadows with a flashlight in their dark classroom!
 
In Math, the children continue to learn about numbers and place value, model addition sentences with cubes and magnets and they are even writing out the equations.
 
In Phonics/Reading, the children continue to build their Word Wall with words they can read. They are also reading and writing simple sentences.
 
 
In Social Studies, we learned about treating all people with respect and being a “peace maker” through Black History Month stories and videos. We learned about different Presidents and why we celebrate Presidents Day.
 
 
We would like to thank everyone for their help as we continue our educational journey at Saint Benedict Early Learning Center.
