Grace Garden Preschool

Love is in the air!  With Valentine's Day upon us, our theme for the week has been love.  We enjoyed gluing multicolored tissue paper around heart outlines.  Our Valentine bags look amazing.  We started with heart stickers, and then glued red sequins onto our white paper bags. Just beautiful!  Valentine's Day art projects are always sweet and fun. Next week we will mix red and white paint.  We wonder what will happen...?

Pastor Amy's message was about love.  She told us the story of Paul and the Corinthians, reading the basic message about love…"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 1Corinthians 13:4

In an effort to work on name recognition, the Robins made new placemats for snack and lunch time. The kiddos colored a blank sheet of paper while Ms. Susana and I added their name and photo. We have also been looking at our written names, focusing on the first letter in each child's name.

Our color of the month is PINK. Our shape wall includes a heart, rectangle, circle, star, and an oval. We are up to the letter "R" and continue to count 1-10 in English and Spanish.

You will be amazed to know that the Robins have learned to clean up after themselves when snack and lunch are over.  This involves putting any uneaten food back in their lunch boxes or in the trash, and then taking their placemats to the sink.  They also put their water bottles back in the water bottle bucket and push their chairs under the table!  They love the independence of this new routine. 

We have been hearing many new words this week in the classroom.  It is so exciting to watch this light bulb moment happen.

Our Valentine exchange is next Tuesday, so don’t forget to have your child bring a Valentine for each friend in class. 

We will see you on Tuesday.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy hearts,
Ms. Sasha and Ms. Susana
