K-4 Happenings
Mrs. Hornsby
February 23-27

This week the students will be introduced to the letter T. We will begin our week by listing words on the board that begin with this letter. We will practice the sound and we will practice writing the T.
February is national dental month, so for our science activity we will talk about treating our teeth like treasure. We will learn a poem and a short song about teeth and the importance of brushing.
For our art activity we will make a mouth using construction paper and mini marshmallows to create teeth. The children will count and record the number of teeth that their mouth has.
Our number for the week will be “21”. We will continue to practice home phone numbers, months of the year, and the days of the week.

Have a Great Week,
Mrs. Hornsby
