What a beautiful day! We got to spend a good amount of time outdoors in the sunshine and the kids actually got a little warm in their full winter gear. They are extra muddy since there's lots of mud and puddles as the snow melts. We are continuing our discussion on living a healthy lifestyle. We made happy body necklaces in art today. We hung some new words on our word wall and introduced the letter. Q.

Healthy teeth are an important part of living a healthy life so we talked today about keeping our teeth clean and strong. We used glue to pain a shiny enamel on teeth in art and the kids learned that everything we eat, leaves traces on our teeth that need to be brushed off or we could develop cavities. We got to spend some time outside this morning and finished up the letter P.
Today we're finishing up some of our Valentine projects that we didn't get done yesterday. We used pink paper (pink is our color this month!) to make hearts (hearts are our shape this month!), which we decorated. We finished up our love signs and finished up our paper hearts for mom and dad.
Happy Valentines Day! We're celebrating with games and treats and we're making some special projects in art today to share with people we love. We finally got to go outside today! We learned a new valentine song and read some of our valentine books. We baked and decorated cookies, which we'll enjoy at snack today.
Nita will be joining us on Thursday this week instead of today. We were stuck inside this morning due to a large pool of ice and water forming in our play area outdoors. We are working to remove as much as possible so we can safely play outside the rest of the week. We played catch up with our theme this morning and spent the day talking about happiness. We made happy headbands in art.
There is a spring newsletter posted and I've printed a copy for everyone to take home as well. Some planned fun days are listed in there as well as all of our vacation/holiday closings for 2017. Please take time to read through that and let me know if you have any questions. I've posted the menu for the week so you can have a look at that when you get time. *** Tomorrow is our Valentine Party! Remember that if you do choose to bring treats to share, to check the label closely to make sure it doesn't contain or was processed in a facility with peanuts. ****Please check the newsletter for information about Nita Higgins, a child care professional substitute who will be coming to assist me on a bi-weekly basis (as an assistant, not a substitute) starting tomorrow! We're very excited to have the extra set of hands! Our fairly tale today is the Little Red Hen! We read our Little Red Hen book and talked about why it was fair that the little red hen got to eat the bread she made all by herself and how important it is to contribute to the work if we want to enjoy the fruits of labor. We baked our gingerbread today, and everyone helped so we all will get to enjoy it at snack today. We got to play outside but it was much colder than yesterday so we lasted less than half an hour. We also made little red hens in art.
