The children really enjoyed playing in the snow last week. The snow was a perfect consistency for snowballs and we created a snowman together with a carrot for a nose, Hershey kisses for eyes, a read balloon mouth, and a cowboy hat. Our Valentine party was a great success. Thank you for bringing valentines and goodies to eat. Thanks also to Amy Johnson for bringing the balloons.
This week we will celebrate Chinese New Year. (It started on Feb. 14th and lasts for 15 days). We will read Daisy Comes Home, Celebrating Chinese New Year, Dragon Dance, and Sam and the Lucky Money. We'll make dragons in Art and work on a large dragon for a "parade" down the hall. We'll also sample traditional food and play with little slide drums at our celebration on Thursday.
In Nature/Science we'll continue to study the Polar Habitat and read Awesome Walruses, and The Fish Book. We will also work on our picture study of The Moon Jellyfish and finish reading "The Life of a Jellyfish" in our Christian Liberty Nature Readers.
In Math we will begin to work with liquid measurement in our Math Books.
In Phonics/Language we will review the letters O, P, and Q and practice sequencing.
Open House is this Friday at 7:00. Childcare will be provided, and we would love to have you here to hear Dr. Flint speak and visit our room.
