February 2017

​In January our focus of study was the United States of America. We started by locating it on the map and finding the names of its neighbors. We looked at the US flag and talked about its symbolism, and listened to the National Anthem and talked about and practiced proper etiquette required. We talked about different biomes of the USA: polar, desert, grassland, and temperate forest and the people and animals that live there. We also worked with the US puzzle map, naming all 50 states and building the puzzle. We have also read some Native American stories.

We celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. day by reading a book about him and talking about inclusiveness and kindness to others. We also celebrated Lunar New Year with families sharing their traditions and gifts with us. We are so grateful. Thank you!

In February we are going to talk about Washington State and learn about the people, animals and plants that live here. We will also learn about the State symbols, the flag, and more!
