Valentine's week

This week was all about Valentine's and showing our friends and families that we care about them. We talked about how we can make others feel good by being nice to them, saying nice things, giving hugs and high fives, and sharing toys and stories with them. The students also made Valentine decorations, a panda made of hearts and a love bug where we talked about symmetry. We also focused on the letter Vv and reviewed the number 1. 

We had a visit from Dr. Sally and Dr. Ben from the Gelhaus Dental Clinic! The students learned about the importance of brushing and flossing their teeth, knowing which food and treats are better for our teeth than others, and what to expect at a visit to the dental office. The Gelhaus Dental Clinic generously donated goodie bags to each student too! What a great Valentine's treat. :-)

Thank you to the families that created special valentines for residents at a local nursing home. This is something that truly brightens their day. 

Next week we will be having games as our theme and discussing rules for playing games with friends. There will be a fun games session where we get to play various games with our high school buddies and 4th graders. We will also be focusing on the letter Gg and reviewing the number 2.
