What a crazy last couple of weeks it's been with snow days, ice days, and power outages! I'm hoping next week will finally bring back a full week of school so we can get back into our regular routine! We spent the last two weeks focusing on cooking and nutrition. We learned about the five food groups (fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy) and read many fun books about food. For each story we read, we also made a special snack to go along with it! Here are some picture highlights from the last few days we've been in school:
Coloring in healthy foods vs. treats!
Playing food groups bingo!
After reading Dragons Love Tacos, we assembled our own tacos at snack time!
They were delicious!
Sorting foods by food groups and drawing our own ideas of foods for each group!
Reading about healthy foods and focusing on the sight words "I like."
After reading Stone Soup, we made our own "stone soup"!
After reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, we worked together to bake chocolate chip cookies!
Important Dates/Reminders:
Valentine's Day Class Valentine: The week of Feb. 11-14 will be spent participating in Valentine’s Day activities in Preschool and discussing friendship. In lieu of a party and students bringing in individual Valentines for each member of our class, we are asking for students and their families to create ONE BIG VALENTINE using a heart that will be provided by school (I sent this home with students on Monday - let me know if you need another one!). You can use glitter, stickers, paint, yarn, pasta, crayons….or any other materials around your house. Please return your “Class Valentine” to school one day next week so that we may share it with the class and display it for our school community.

January/February book orders are due by Thursday, February 14th (I extended this a week due to being out of school!). You can order books online by completing the steps below.
