Comment of the Day

A computer can’t offer children the same quality of experience as do sorting and stacking blocks, pouring sand or water from one size container to another, stroking a caterpillar or tree bark, or acting out a story.

Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day – February 14

On Monday, February 14^th we are celebrating Valentine’s Day. Students are asked to bring one card for a card exchange.  You can purchase cards or be creative and make your own. There are 19 students in the class, 11 boys and 8 girls. Your child needs to bring 18 cards to participate. The cards need to be filled out before they are brought to school.

This is a good writing experience for the children, please help them pace it and write a few cards each day. Remind them to write as neat as they can since they are giving the cards away, but remember that we just started writing letters and mistakes such as reversed letters are accepted. Parents can also assist in the writing. For some, writing their own name is a challenge.  Have fun!!

A list of names will be emailed to help you get started.
