Fabulous February

The kindergarten students loved February! They learned about Arizona and celebrated its 99th birthday with some fun activities. They prepared for President's Day by learning about President George Washington and making a tri-cornered hat. We also studied President Abraham Lincoln and colored a picture of him. The most important thing we learned about our presidents was that they were both great leaders and both of them sacrificed greatly for the good of our country.

Everyone agreed that the very best part of February was Valentine's Day. We spent several days making valentine projects, knowing that all of our preparations would culminate in a Valentine's Day party. This was the first time most have celebrated this holiday and they really enjoyed making valentines and passing them out to the other students. It was organized chaos for a short while as the cards were being passed out, but everyone had a great time. The pizza and sweets at the end of the day were also a delightful treat.
