Activities

This week, the Teddy Bears learned about nutrition. Mrs. Houser came and explained what nurses do and helped us learn about healthy food for our bodies. She even provided a wonderful and healthy snack. The children were given plastic gloves and masks that are used in the hospital and doctor’s offices. She donated a medical kit for our dramatic play area. 

We created a night scene with moon and stars for our letter “N”. We painted with marbles and created our Valentine’s bags for our special day on Tuesday.

Valentine’s Day – (There are 16 children and 6 teachers.)

We will celebrate Valentine’s Day on Tuesday, February 14th. Please have your child attempt to write their own name on each Valentine, but please leave the “To:” empty. They will place their own in all of the children’s bag and it is better to just say who it is from. Having them write their own name on each one is great practice. Remember to have them use an upper case letter for the first letter of their name and the rest in lower case.

You can add a treat, like a piece of candy if you would like. Please do not include any candy that has nuts in it or that is manufactured in a factory that produces nuts. 

Family Appreciation Day

Wednesday, February 15th is Family Appreciation Day. Your family is invited to attend chapel in the Sanctuary with us and come into our classroom for about an hour after chapel. If you sign your child in, please wait and walk with us to chapel. 

We will be creating a family scrapbook for our classroom. Each family will create their own page. Please bring a copy of a family picture, a family Bible verse that can either be typed out and printed before you arrive, or you may write it on the page during class time. The page will be about 11 by 11 inches. We will provide the white sheet of paper and have some stickers and items to add. Please feel free to bring whatever you may want to add to your page. We have glue sticks for your use.

The invitation that was sent home mentioned a family interview. We will just ask for the family names to be written on the page.

We will also be serving refreshments and look forward to a wonderful day, celebrating our families. If you cannot be here on Wednesday, please let me know (preferably by e-mail) and I will send home the paper for you to create at home.

The finished book will stay in our Early Childhood Center for the children to enjoy.

Clothing

Please remember to send heavy, thick, winter coats, hats and mittens with your child. Our recesses last about 25 minutes and if it is not raining, we try to go outside and run. This is a long time for children who only have a sweatshirt with them. Thank you.

If your child needed to borrow clothes from our preschool, please wash them and return them. They would have an “ECC” written on them. We are missing several pair of khaki pants and a few sweatshirts, socks and underwear. Thank you.
