This week we wrapped up our theme about emotions/love/hearts. We had fun playing a game about emotions. Each student had to pick a face puppet and act out the emotion. We also had fun with playdoh as we created different emotions/faces. Next week it is all about Dr. Seuss! We will make lots of fun creations as we enjoy the rhymes and stories of this great author!


Picture day is on Tuesday! Don't forget to check the newsletter/calendar for upcoming events!

Love Is In the Air!

This week we have learned about hearts. We have learned that exercising our hearts keeps us healthy. We performed Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes and other gross motor songs for exercise. To reinforce what we have learned, perform an exercise with your child. Have him/her feel his/her heartbeat before and after exercising. Discuss the difference in the heartbeat rate.

We also made puffy hearts with shaving cream and glue, and played counting and matching games with paper hearts. Next week we will use heart shapes to spell our names. "Our Emotions " is our theme for next week. Also, don't forget about our Valentine's Day party next Tuesday! Please send in Valentines for your child's classmates for our Post Office lesson. Thanks! Have a great weekend!
