We sang songs and used puppets to sing songs about the weather, and also about healthy habits. We read a lot of books this month and sand a lot of songs.

Grasshopper/Twos

January was a busy month in the Grasshopper class. We started off the month by welcoming 2021 Happy New Year! This month was super exciting. We learned a lot of things. The unit of Healthy Habits has a lot to offer beginning by eating healthy foods like apples, bananas, grapes, lettuce, and tomatoes. We introduced the letters A, B, C, D, and E and the numbers 21 22 23 and 19. Colors white, red, green, pink, black. Shapes octagon, crescent, hexagon, pentagon. We celebrated MLK’s birthday. We also celebrated inauguration day. Our first woman Vice President was sworn in! Fridays is Spirit Day, where we wear our Spirit Day shirts. January was a blast and we can’t wait until February to see what’s next.
