February Fun
Happy (early) Valentine's Day to all of you! As we go through the month of February, we will be exploring feelings, Valentine's Day, as well as the alphabet, through one of our favorites - Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We have successfully implemented our "Center Day" once a week, in preparing our soon-to-be Kindergarteners for next year. On this day, the children rotate through four centers, two of which are academically based and two of which focus on another area of development. These centers either take place on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Science
Water + Glue + Borax = Flubber Fun
Math
How many pegs can we stack?
Reading
Sharing books with friends
Valentine's Day
On Thursday, February 14, we will be celebrating Valentine's Day in our classroom. If your child would like to bring Valentine cards to distribute to friends, he or she may do so on that day. If this is a day that your child does not typically attend, please feel free to bring him/her. We will be sharing our Valentine cards and having a special snack on that day.
Family Fun Card and Game Night
Thank you to all the families who helped to make our Card and Game Night a success. We hope you had as much fun as we did. Be on the lookout for our March/April Family Fun Night information.
