Korean Lunar New Year & Chinese New Year Celebration
We are reading Asian folktales! I was very fortunate to travel to Korea and we will be setting up an Asian restaurant. We read about the Lion Dancer today and we want to have our own dragon parade! We will celebrate on Feb. 8th. It is the year of the Monkey!
Valentines Day!
We will give each other Valentine cards. Simply purchase a cheap box of Valentines or make your own handmade cards for friends. We are making this as a friendship writing activity to do with your child at home. It takes a few nights to complete the class cards so start early. Let the children do the writing. I bought a cheap box of Valentines at the dollar store. I will send home a class list with large print so your child can copy names or if the cards are small just have your child sign their name on the back. The children love to deliver cards to their friends. We will exchange cards and play friendship games.
Parent/Teacher conferences
Parent Teacher conferences are scheduled for the week of February 15th. I will be posting dates and times on our shutterfly account soon! Thank you!
Stomach Illness
We have been experiencing a few stomach problems. I have been noticing the children are in a hurry to get back to their activity and are not washing their hands.....
Pre-Kindergarten Supplies
The pre-kindergarten department had extra funds to purchase supplies for our class! They should be arriving next week.
