What's Happening

Although February is our shortest month, it will be filled with many activities.  For Groundhogs Day, we will have fun with shadows by dancing and playing games. For Valentine’s Day, we will discuss our feeling and how important friendship is.  We’ll learn to spell and write the word LOVE and listen to our hearts with a stethoscope. Later on the in the month, we will talk about health foods and the importance for brushing our teeth.  We will review our shapes with some fun activities.

In religion, we will be finishing up our unit God’s Gift of Ourselves.  

We will be have a pajama party on Valentine’s Day with a pancake and milk snack.  During our party, we will read pancake stories and paint a fun craft. The children will help prepare our snack and will learn how to measure ingredients. This will begin our discussion of healthy eating.  The parachute will make an appearance with a fun pig who loves pancakes and syrup.

We will be exchanging Valentine’s Day cards and the children are very excited for this fun activity. Please help them prepare cards for their friends (We have 15 children in the class)  They will make special bags for this circle time activity.
