Love is in the Air

Valentines Day is coming up so this week we decided to start decorating to help get in the spirit.

We made hearts to hang from the ceiling

We talked about the things we love and made hearts for our bulletin board with the things we love on it



I think our love discussion really sparked something in the kids, because this week our class experienced something that doesn't happen often in preschool.  Ten strait minutes of getting along!  It was definitely a preschool miracle.  I did not have the heart to make them clean up, because everyone was sharing and getting along with each other.  It was beautiful!!



We also talked about teeth this week.  We learned what things are good for your teeth and what things are not.  Then we made some mouths with yummy marshmallow teeth.

I sent home a pink note about valentines in the folders this week.  If you have more questions please let me know.  Don't forget Monday, Tuesday and Friday are Pajama days, so come comfy!

 

 

 

 

Newts and Noses

This week we went over the letter N, number 8 and the five senses.  We explored all of our senses by smelling new scents, trying new foods and trying to identify an object with only our hands.  We even painted our newts with kool-aid so they would smell deliciously fruity.  We also made our names out of colorful noodles and on Friday we made necklaces. 

Just a reminder calendars and newsletters did get put in folders this week, so be sure to look them over so you know what is going on.
