Jan/Feb Pics & February Dates

Hi all!

 

It's hard to believe that January has come and gone; it seems like a blink of the eye. We had an awesome outer space unit! The kids learned so much about our solar system, planets, and what life is like as an astronaut. If you haven't gotten an earful already, ask your preschool some specific questions about the planets in our solar system - I bet they will amaze you with all their newfound knowledge! Here are some fun pictures from the past couple of weeks:

February kicked off our "Creative Me" unit. Here are some boys getting in touch with their musical senses:

We took an awesome field trip to the UMD Tweed museum. Here are some kids checking out some art pieces:

 

And don't forget our 100th day of school celebration! We celebrated the first week of February with 100 day headbands: 

 

...and an extra special 100th Day of School show-and-tell: 

The rest of the month is looking busy, so don't forget to mark these notes down on your calendar:

Wednesday, February 11th: Valentine cards due. If your child would like to participate in our Valentine's card exchange, please have them bring in 10 UNADDRESSED, signed cards. If they would like to give candy, please do NOT attach it to the cards. We will be handing candy out separately.
Friday, February 13th: Valentine's Tea Party 10:00am. Parents, Grandparents, and Friends are all invited!!
Monday, February 16th: NO SCHOOL
Tuesday, February 17th-20th: School is OPEN. Many people are on vacation this week, so if you haven't already, please submit your February schedules ASAP so we can plan our staff accordingly.

Thanks to all you wonderful families! You are such a blessing to support your beautiful children all the ways that you do!

Warmest regards,
Ms. Jakki
