Valentine's

This past week we focused on Valentine's Day, letter Vv and review of the number 1. We had fun at our Valentine's "party". Treats were passed out, a Charlie Brown Valentine video was viewed, and we played games. 

Next week we will be talking about dental health and arctic animals. We will have a special visit from a local dentist to talk to us about her job. We will be focusing on the letter Pp and review of the number 2. Next Monday and Tuesday I will be sending home a note about spring conferences, these are not mandatory for families to attend. I have put requests to meet with some of my student's families, if you feel you want to be added to the list for conferences please send back the bottom portion of the note that will be in your child's folder. 

We have started a really fun activity in the past two weeks. It is something we do to give the students a mini break in the day. The activities are used to promote movement, mild exercise, music and dance expression, and fun! We do a variety of silly songs, children's yoga, and children's zumba. To check out what we do please visit www.gonoodle.com and click on demo class. This will allow you to try it out at home, if you would like you can click sign up and create accounts for your children. They get to choose a character and the more you play the more this character changes. You can click on "tags" scroll to the bottom and click "more tags" to have it display categories such as grade levels, type of activity, or length of activity.  Some of the videos we really like in class are from the group KooKooKangaRoo (roller coaster and Pop See Ko) and zumba kids (party rock and happy)
