This week we continued our unit on transportation in preparation for this Friday night. We have discussed lots of different modes of transportation. We viewed photographs, discussed similarities and differnces, created cool art, read books,and based several of our centers around the theme. The children were very engaged and are now very excited to share their work with you at community night. I am very excited to see the hard work you guys put forth in the vehicles. Remember 3's do not need to come, only 4's, but we would love to see everyone come by.
Although we are not officially working on dental health and nutrition until next week, we had a special guest today. We had Dr. Park and his staff come in for demo and chat about dental health. They came equipt with puppets and a magician. The children loved it. They all received a little goodie bag too. http://childrensdentalworld.net/
Next week is Valentine's Day. We will do a small "party" to exchange valentines and share a special treat I will provide. Please keep the valentine small. No open treats or large goodie bags. Think small candy, cards, pencils, tattoos etc? Whatever you do, your child can sign, but do not specifically address to the other children. It is too hard at this age. Each will come home with a gallon zip lock bag.
We will move onto the letter Mm next week. Our word wall is growing and it is cool to watch them come up with new words. Sorting, fine motor work, shapes and Lenten preparation are scheduled for the next couple of weeks.
Reminders:
Please keep children home when they have fevers. They need to be fever free for 24 hours. Please practice nose blowing and wiping skills. No school February 17 and 20.
Thanks and God Bless!
