Hello All, This week in Pre-K3, we are celebrating Valentine's Day and focusing on all things love and kindness!  Our color of the month is purple, and we explored it through painting, sorting, classroom hunts, and even mixing red and blue to see how purple is made.  Our shape is hearts, and children created heart art, went on a heart hunt, and practiced drawing hearts while learning that the heart is a symbol of love and friendship.

We are also learning about the number 4 by counting to 4, clapping 4 times, finding 4 objects in our classroom, and practicing number recognition.  Our letter of the week is L.  Children will practice writing the uppercase L and lowercase l on the smartboard.  We talked about all the L words like love, lollipop, laugh, lipstick, and many more. 

For Valentine's Day fun, we decorated our bags, had munchkins, and hot chocolate for a snack.  We shared kind words with our friends and practiced showing love and kindness through our actions.  We had fun handing out our Valentine's and looking at all the wonderful goodies our friends gave us❤️

Thankfully, we enjoyed outside time this week!!!  The kids were running and having so much fun!!!  Please make sure they have hats, gloves, and a heavy coat.  If it's above freezing, we are going out!!!!

In Religion this week, we are learning that God loves each and every one of us.  Valentine's Day reminds us that we are all special and loved by God.  We talked about how we can show God's love by being kind to our friends, sharing, helping others, and using kind words.

Books we read- Love From Giraffes Can't Dance, If Animals Said I Love You, My Fuzzy Valentine, Valentine's Day is Here and Love Is All Around The World.

We are looking forward to another week filled with learning, friendship, and lots of love!

Happy Valentine's!  I'm so proud of your littles and the kindness they show when they share, help one another, and use sweet words.  They fill our room with so much joy and laughter!!!!

Have a fabulous weekend and spread some love!!!
