We had so much fun celebrating Valentines Week! Our focus was on Love, God’s Love, and Loving One Another. For Letter P week one of our students brought in a Pirate and a Police Car. Each of the children took turns passing the police car back and forth to each other. On Monday and Wednesday we played various games with a parachute, and practiced tossing beanbags off the parachute.
Friday was our Valentines Day Party for the children. It was a great success! Thank you to all the parent helpers who made it possible! This week we were especially blessed with a multitude of parent helpers! Another highlight of our week was the great fun and learning the children had with playing post office, by sending postcards, notes and valentines cards to their friends and loved ones. Next week we are moving forward with our transportation theme, as we explore the various modes of transportation. Beep! Beep! See you next week!
Here are some other highlights of our week…
A Parent Helper came in and led a craft activity, and assisted the children
in making Valentine Mice, using heart templates, glue, and markers.
The mice are hanging in the classroom above our bulletin board!
We read the book Valentine Mice by Bethany Roberts.
Made Valentines Card for our friends and loved ones, using paper,
heart shaped doilies, and markers.
Played with our Pegboard.
Sang the “Skinamarink” Song and practiced hand gestures with it!

Moving forward to Next Week! Beep! Beep!
