Week 19

It was a great week,

To get a sneak peek,

At what a rhyme is and is not.

From sheep in jeeps

To bees and trees,

They certainly learned a lot.

We painted lots of dots,

And rocked our crocs,

And drove our trucks in the muck!

We played with bears and chairs,

And created rhyming pairs,

It certainly wasn’t just luck!

With logs and frogs and

Bells and shells,

We certainly had a great time!

We’ll do much more,

Next week for sure,

As we continue to rhyme.

We encourage you to be rhyme detectives with your child at home.  We can’t wait to hear what they discover!

Gentle Reminder:

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. In the spirit of the season, we encourage the children to exchange Valentine cards, but there is no obligation to participate. The children have been enjoying making and receiving wonderful birthday cards during the year. Doing something kind for someone else is very rewarding. We would encourage you to make this a fun, creative, non-stressful activity. Allowing your child to come up with open-ended ideas to express his/her own individuality encourages not only imagination but problem-solving skills and self-esteem. Start early and do a few at a time, there are 18 students in our class.  Creating special homemade cards for classmates is a fun way to spend a cold winter’s afternoon and a great way to practice writing their name. Please only put your child’s name on the cards; this will allow them to “mail” them independently. The children will be decorating bags in class to collect these treasured cards. Sending them early will ensure friends who are getting an early start on vacation week are able to enjoy their cards on Valentine’s Day. You can start sending them in on Monday, February 10th.  To be sensitive to allergies, we ask that you do not include food items with your child’s Valentine cards.

Enjoy your weekend!
