2/2 Classroom Update

Valentine's Day: The week of Feb. 12th- Feb. 16th 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 (this came home in your child's folder this week). You can use glitter, stickers, paint, yarn, pasta, crayons….or any other materials around your house. Please return your “Class Valentine” to school by Monday, Feb. 12th so that we may share it with the class and display it for our school community.

This week, we learned about the five major food groups, read lots of stories involving food, and did some fun cooking in preschool! On Monday, we read "Dragons Love Tacos" and made tacos. On Tuesday, we read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and made chocolate chip cookies. On Wednesday, we read "Stone Soup" and made our own variation of stone soup, and on Thursday, we read "If You Give a Pig a Pancake" and made pancakes.Here are some picture highlights from the week:
