February 12/13, 2014 Wednesday/Thursday
Happy Valentine's Day! Today we celebrated Valentine's Day with a party. There were snacks and drinks, games, and Valentine's Day cards. Thank you to all who participated! Whether it was something you provided, an activity you helped with, or just the fact that you came and enjoyed the festivities - we are very appreciative!
Choice time: This time was used to allow the children to pass out their Valentine's Day cards.
(On Thursday, our schedule changed to accomodate the older class. Choice time was not available because of this and the children passed out their Valentines in the Free Play Area.)
Circle time: "I Love It When You Smile" was the book read. Songs and fingerplays included Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear and 5 Little Monkeys. (On Thursday, due to time constraints, the songs and fingerplays were not included in our Circle Time activities.)
Free Choice Time: Painting at the easel was available. (On Thursday, playdough was also available.)
Thanks again for all of your support for this fun day!
Reminder: No school on Monday due to President's Day.
