What's Happening the Week of February 18th Through February 21st

A great time was had by all the K-1 Class at our Valentine's Day Party.  A big thank you to all the room mothers who helped make our party so nice.  Thank you to everyone who sent snacks for the party.

I want to thank everyone for all the nice Valentine cards and goodies.

Our K-1 Class made many projects on the  morning of February 14th.  Everyone made a Valentine Hat,  a Valentine Necklace, a Valentine Card, a Valentine Candy Heart Bracelet, and a Valentine Sack.  Valentine cookies were decorated as our morning snack. Several Valentine pictures were colored and some pictures were made using Valentine foam shapes.
