Valentine's Week

Group Meeting:  I told the children what we would be doing for the rest of the week to prepare for Valentine's Day.  We talked about our party and what we would need to make during class.  We will be taking Valentine hearts to Senior Star, so we started making them today.

Story:  The story for today was Will You Be My Valentine? by Steven Kroll.  Thomas likes Gretchen more than anyone else in his preschool class.  However, Gretchen doesn't like him.  When Thomas selects Gretchen's name in the class Valentine drawing, he hopes that his homemade Valentine will change her mind.  Thomas' mother arranges a play date for them.  Will Gretchen and Thomas become friends?  Ask your child what happens during their play date.

Small Groups:  The children in each group were given a number of simple machines.  They had to sort them into three groups; inclined planes, screws, and levers.

Large Group:  The children learned 3 songs that we are going to sing at Senior Star.

Snacks:  The snack for the morning class was strawberries and cheese sticks brought by Hudson.  The afternoon snack was vanilla yogurt and Life cereal brought by Julian.  Thank you, Hudson and Julian!
