Congratulations to our preschool class for being one of the winners of Spirit Day!!! We are so excited!! We talked about what our next Spirit Day should be and have come up with some great ideas. Since Valentine’s Day is around the corner, we took this opportunity to talk about symbols, making new colors by mixing, identifying different and same heart shapes, and talking about fiction and non-fiction books. We made our own non-fiction book and worked hard on making the illustrations look great, by trying really hard to stay in the lines when we colored. We continued to practice our fine motor skills when creating some beautiful Valentine’s Day crafts, one of which I can’t mention, but you will all get to see on Monday! On Tuesday, we went to the gym and enjoyed a great game of Red Rover! It’s nice to get some time to run and what a fun way to practice our listening skills. On Thursday, we enjoyed a little yoga. What a great way to stretch and balance!

We continue to collect coins for Pennies for Patients. We will continue this until the end of February. We have almost reached our first goal of $10. I thank you for sending in money and appreciate the opportunity to help your children gain a sense of pride for doing good for other. Monday is Valentine’s Day! I will be bringing in a small treat for all of us to share. Please feel free to send in Valentine’s with your child, for their friends, if you would like. Also, the second report card will be coming home with your child on Monday. Enjoy your weekend!
