BE MY VALENTINE

We enjoyed a break from our normal routine this week and celebrated Valentine's Day!! The kids enjoyed decorating baskets(thank you for the tissue boxes...I didn't get quite enough but I am sure I will use them for something in the future!) and passing out their Valentines to their friends. They had so much fun giving and receiving valentines to each other! We played 4 CORNERS, where they walked in a big circle around the room while music played and when it stopped, they had to stand under a HEART. We randomly drew a heart out of a bowl and if you were standing under the matching heart, you got a piece of candy! We had fun outside with sidewalk chalk and celebrated a birthday this week as well!! What a fun week...now we are on to the letter R!

Letter Q

We had a great week discovering the letter Q! Everyone brought great things to show for Show and Tell, that start with Q. We made Queen(and King) crowns, made letter Q's with yarn, played a fun stop and listen game in music, practiced handwriting and more!
