I can't believe we are already in February! This month we are studying our Country. This week we learned about some of the Symbols of our Country. We talked a lot about our Flag and what the colors in the flag stand for. On Tuesday we made our own flags. The kids got to practice many different skills. They did a wonderful job using their cutting skills to follow a line and cut red strips of paper to make the stripes on their flags. They used their gluing skills to glue the strips and blue square into place. Then we used q-tips and white paing to make dots to represent the stars on the flag.
Some Vocabulary words we learned this week were:
Bravery
Justice
Freedom
Our letters for the week were Q and R. We practiced drawing Q's. You'll have to ask your child to show you how to do this!
On Thursday we talked about the Penny with Abraham Lincoln's picture on it, and The Quarter with George Washington's picture.
We sang a song to the tune of "London Bridges" to help us remember which president is on the Penny and Quarter.
Who's fine face is on the penny on the penny on the penny
Who's fine face is on the penny, Abraham Lincoln
Who's fine face is on the Quarter on the Quarter on the Quarter
Who's fine face is on the Quarter, George Washington
