Lemmon Tree Academy

 February in LTA Throughout the month of February, we have been busy! We celebrated Valentine's Day, the 100th day of school, James' birthday, and took a trip to the science museum! In math, we have been learning about addition with our "friends": Gus the Plus and Ellie the Equal. In ELA, we have been learning new sight words, practicing beginning sounds in words, and blending together CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words. We read stories about community helpers and symbols in America as we learned about history. In pretend play, we had a post office where students practiced sending out letters, sorting and counting boxes, and buying/counting out stamps. In March, we are entering the world of dinosaurs in pretend play where we will explore various earth materials! In ELA we will be reading stories about the earth, weather, and seasons. In math, we will be meeting Linus the Minus as we begin our unit on subtraction.

January Recap In the month of January, students learned about their bodies and what it means to be healthy. We read about being healthy and the things that our body needs to be our healthiest selves. In pretend play, we had a doctors office where students worked to identify body parts and a home set up where they sorted healthy and unhealthy foods. In math we continued to work on counting, as well as composing and decomposing numbers. We had so much fun in specials and enjoyed making winter crafts on the days we did not have specials.  Everyone is doing so great engaging with peers in our class and with less familiar peers on the playground. It has been so amazing to see everyone continue to grow in their social and turn taking skills this month! We are so excited to continue learning and growing as a class in the month of February!
