Happy Valentine's Day!


We had a fun week of Valentine's activities.  We had a fun day of Valentine's Day parties on Tuesday.  Thank you to all of the parents who sent snacks for the party.  Our morning class had fun with some photo props that one of our friends brought in, you can click here to see some pictures of their photo booth fun.

We enjoyed some messy, sensory art this week.  

We used vinegar and baking soda to make fizzy heart art.  We also used shaving cream and paint to make swirled hearts.

Some Mindful Tasting

The students enjoyed being 'chefs' this past week by making their own ants on a log.  We had fun talking about, smelling, and exploring the different ingredients.  I was proud of the kids for "trying" their food creation, and quite a few of our friends even liked it!  We then used the celery ends to paint some beautiful Valentine bouquets.  Click here to see pictures of our celery adventures.  

Spell-A-Thon

I was proud of the students spelling their names for our PreK Spell-A-Thon.  If your child collected pledges, I sent the forms home with their results on Thursday.  Money is due by Wednesday, February 22nd.  

Coming Up

This week we will begin our exciting unit on Dinosaurs!  We will also be having pink shirt day on Wednesday.  Each student will be given a pink shirt on this day.  We will be discussing bullying, kindness, and how our actions can affect other people.

  • March 1st and 2nd - early dismissal days
