Looks like Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow! Yeah!!!!!!!! Hopefully he is correct and spring is near. This week, we all discussed Groundhog Day and in honor of Punxsutawney Phil, we made shadow art self portraits, which are hanging on display, in the hallway for all to see. We even made a paper groundhog. This helped us with coloring, pasting and cutting skills. The month of February is Dental Health Month. Throughout this month, we will be discussing teeth, visiting the Dentist and good oral hygiene. We practice brushing our teeth by using a toothbrush and white paint to brush a yellow paper cut out tooth. We used up and down and side to side strokes. We even practiced writing our names on our paper toothbrushes. It’s been a short week, but fun one.
The K-Kids sweet rose sale will continue into next week, due to the snow days. If you would like to send your Valentine a sweet rose, please send in a $1 by Wednesday, February 9. Also, our classroom, as well as the rest of the school, is participating in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society School & Youth Program, Pennies for Patients. We are collecting money and donating in honor of children who have been diagnosed with Leukemia. We will help to raise funds for cancer research and services for patients. This is a great way to teach our children to do what we can to help one another and those who are sick. Your help will be greatly appreciated. We will be discussing this fundraiser in class and have named our team, Team Preschool. Thank you to all who have continuously donated hand sanitizers and tissues to our classroom. Enjoy your weekend.
