Junior Kindergarten
February 2026
Dear Parents,
Our theme this month is Our Multicultural World. We will take imaginary trips around the world to learn about different cultures, animals, plants, food, clothing, music, languages, etc. We will be concluding the unit with a fun International Dress-up Day on Wednesday, February 25. So, begin thinking about those costumes now!
Other topics this month will include AB, AAB, ABB, and ABC patterns, numbers 14, 15, and 16, the attractive property of magnets, and the exploration of rocks. We will be covering letters P, Q, and R, and be introduced to sight words by, my, me, he, and she.
Our memory Bible verse for February is God is love. 1 John 4:8. Our Bible stories will include Jesus’ Friends Follow Him, Jesus Tells Us to Share the Good News, and David Is a Brave Boy.
Our Valentine’s Day Celebrations will be on Thursday, February 12th. The children will exchange Valentines cards. Please DO NOT address your child’s Valentines to specific children in the class. Address the cards as follows:
TO: My friend
FROM: Your child’s name
This will make it easier for the children to pass out their Valentine cards.
We do want to encourage the children to sign their own name to their cards. This is great practice for them. Gently remind them to use lower case letters. Only the first letter in their name should be capitalized. You may want to do just a few cards at a time to make the task easier for your little one.
A note was sent home in January with the number of kids in each class. A room parent may reach out to you asking for help with donations for the party. Parents and Guardians are invited to the classroom party. Unfortunately, siblings are not included.
Wednesday, February 11th is Pajama Day! To celebrate the letter P, we will have a pajama party. The children may wear their favorite pajamas to school and will have a popcorn party in the classroom.
Wednesday, February 18th will be Quest Day for the letter Q. You do not need to bring anything.
Thursday, February 26th will be letter R day. The teachers will be doing a special activity with the class, so you do not need to provide anything.
There will be No School on Thursday, March 5, and Friday, March 6, due to Pre-Kindergarten (PK) and Junior Kindergarten (JK) parent/teacher conferences. Your teachers will share more information concerning Parent/Teacher Conferences in mid-February. Please make sure to sign up for a conference time posted outside the classroom door when sign-ups go up.
February is usually a really cold and snowy month, so here are some indoor ideas if you are stuck inside. An indoor scavenger hunt is always fun. Hide objects or clues for a fun treasure hunt. A fun art project would be ice painting. Freeze colored water in ice cube trays and let the kids paint with the ice cubes on paper. As the ice melts, it creates a beautiful watercolor effect.
Here are the words to a cute Valentine song.
Valentine (Tune: Love Me Tender)
You’re my rainbow. You’re my star.
You’re my bright red cookie jar.
You’re my daisy. You’re my vine.
You’re my own true Valentine.
Happy Birthday!

First Year Preschool
February 2026
Dear Parents,
Our theme for this month is Friendship and Community. We will discuss the qualities found in a good friend and learn about community helpers. Community helpers are people who have jobs that serve others, and are people who we can trust… doctors, police officers, fire fighters, etc. We will conclude this unit with a community helper dress-up day on Thursday, February 26. Start planning your costume now. Your child’s teacher can give you some great suggestions too. Other topics this month will include a review of meaningful counting from 0-5, and light, shadows, and reflection.
Our memory Bible verse for February is God is love. 1 John 4:8. Our Bible stories will include Finding a Friend, Jesus’ Friends Follow Him, and Jesus Grows Up to Do His Father’s Work.
Our Valentine’s Day celebrations will be held on Thursday, February 12th. The children will exchange Valentine cards. Please DO NOT address your child’s Valentines to a specific individual in the class.
Address the cards as follows:
TO: My friend
FROM: Your child’s name
This will make it easier for the children to pass out their Valentine cards. A note was sent home in January with the number of kids in each class. Your room parent may reach out to you asking for help with donations for the party. Parents and Guardians are invited to the classroom party. Unfortunately, siblings are not included.
There will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday, March 5. Our teachers will be conducting Junior Kindergarten (JK) and Prekindergarten (PK) parent/teacher conferences. There are no scheduled conferences for the First Year Preschool (FYP) children. However, we will be sending home information regarding your child’s progress at the end of April. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s development, please contact your child’s teacher.
February is a month that we usually have lots of really cold days and snow, so here are some ideas of some things you can do at home if you are stuck inside. If there is snow on the ground and it is just to cold, bring some snow inside in a container for your child to play with and add some plastic people or vehicles for them to play in the snow. Do you have some paper and art supplies, then make a card for a loved one for Valentine's Day. A fun game of tennis can be played indoors with balloons and fly swatters or just use hands.
Here are the words to a Valentine song.
Valentine (Tune: Love Me Tender)
You’re my rainbow. You’re my star.
You’re my bright red cookie jar.
You’re my daisy. You’re my vine.
You’re my own true Valentine.
Happy Birthday!

Dear Parents,
Our theme for February is Jesus Loves Us.
We will be focusing on paper ripping activities and cutting, using hand eye coordination with building blocks, and do some tracing activities.
The week of February 10-12 we will be celebrating Valentine's Day in class. The children can wear their pj's to school and bring their favorite stuffed animal. Also, we will be exchanging Valentine's with friends. Please address the Valentine - To: My Friend From (your child's name).
The week of February 24-26 will be community helpers week. The children can come to school dressed to look like a community helper.
We will be talking about community helpers this month so if you are stuck inside due to the weather, which happens a lot in February try these couple of ideas. Set up a pretend mail carrier game where the kids deliver mail to their stuffed animals. Another idea with your child's stuffed animals is to set up like they are a vet and the children use a doctor's kit to care for their animals.
There will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday, March 5. Our teachers will be conducting Junior Kindergarten (JK) and Prekindergarten (PK) parent/teacher conferences. There are no scheduled conferences for the 2's children.
