Happy Valentine's Day! Remember that God is Love (John 4:8) and anywhere you see love in action, you are seeing God there as well!
We had a busy week at preschool celebrating God's love for us and our love for each other! We had tons of fun decorating our Valentine's bags this week (while we practiced our fine motor skills at the same time!). Hopefully all of you had a chance to look at our Shutterfly pictures from our party on Thursday. Thank you Miss Donna for taking pictures! And thank you to everyone who contributed something to our Valentine's Day celebration! You are very sweet!
We also had fun with our play dough this week when we learned what happens when we mix pink Kool Aid powder with our white playdough! We learned that after you mix it for a long, long, time the play dough will eventually turn pink...and it even turns our table pink :)
We were very busy this week making cards for friends. You may have even noticed some post cards coming home with your children. Postcards are a fun way to learn about our world, and practice our pre-writing skills. We still have quite a few blank postcards here at preschool, so I suspect you'll see some more coming home next week!
We really wanted to bring out our tunnel and hoops again this week...but we didn't seem to have enough time. Tell your children that WE WILL bring it out again this week!!
Here are some other things we did this week at preschool...We went out to the cubby area 2 children at a time to distribute our Valentines cards
We painted with red and white paint on heart shaped papers using paint brushes and some fun texture tools!
We colored heart pictures that reminded us that "God is Love"We played with some fun heart shaped "people" to practice our counting skills
We heard the stories What Do You Love? by Jonathan London and No Matter What by Debi Gliori
We played our favorite circle time song: Two Little Blackbirds
We learned two new songs:
The Heart Shape Song - sung to The Wheels on the Bus
From Cullens ABCs
The heart shape means that
I love you
I love you
I love you
The heart shape means that
I love you
Each and every day!
AND...
Three Valentines - sung to Mary Had a Little Lamb
Also from Cullen’s ABCs
Three valentines I have for you
Have for you
