Our week was all about love, friendship and preparing for our Valentine’s Day Party. We talked about being friends and how we can show one another that we are friends. Our art project was decorating our bags that would hold our Valentines. The children had a great time with the heart stickers and we will include stickers in future art projects.
Our Preschool Valentine’s Day Party was fantastic! The children were thrilled to reach in and pull out each new Valentine. Mrs. Atwater and I were very busy running about and helping the children read their cards. We can tell that everyone put a lot of work and time into their Valentines. The wonderful Valentine treats were incredibly beautiful on the table and yummy to eat! Thank you to everyone for your contributions. The children had so much fun selecting snacks from the ‘buffet’! We would also like to thank all of the Preschool Families for our teacher gifts, cards and the beautiful plants.
The children are almost ready to preform their French song! I am so proud of them and how well they are memorizing the song and movements. Our Thursday class was all about reviewing the vocabulary that I have introduced over the past 3 months. The children can all count to 10, know family members, colors and many other words and concepts. Next week we will focus on Mardi Gras!
The Mardi Gras French Plays have been rescheduled for next Friday the 19th at 8:30a.m. Please arrive at school by 8:10a.m. so that we can arrive for the performance on time.
Due to our “Snow Day,” Alaska Day has been rescheduled for Wednesday, February 17th. Please try to arrive at school by 8:10a.m. so that we may join the rest of the school in Furey Hall for a slide show about Alaska at 8:20a.m. Don’t forget to be sure your child dresses warm and has all of their outdoor gear.
We would like to thank Patrick and his dad, Paul, for their thoughtful donation of two books, “Dino-Hockey” and “Dino-Soccer,” to our classroom collection of dinosaur books. Patrick visited us last week and was pleasantly surprised to see that we were studying dinosaurs. He and his dad thought we might enjoy reading these fun stories. Thank you Patrick and Paul!
