Looking Back…
*This week we spent lots of time counting hearts, playing in our heart centers and discussing ways to make our hearts and those of others happy. Our religion lesson this week was all about our hearts, too! We expressed our appreciation and happiness for God’s love.
*Pajama day was so much fun. It was comfy cozy learning in our jammies and dancing to the pajama day exercise song. Of course we ended our day with Llama, Llama, Red Pajama. The letter “Pp” has certainly been one of our favorite letters to learn.
*We made queens for the letter “Qq” and learned a new quack, quack Jolly Phonics song. We also learned some new vocabulary…quail and quill. Now we know that the letter u always shows up after the letter q. They’re best friends for sure:)
*Twenty-one and a half feet was the length of our Valentine’s Day chain we created with our Buddies. Lots of teamwork was happening in Room 99 to prepare our room for Valentine’s Day. We love our Buddies and we will soon be taking weekly walks with them.
*Our friend Miles was a super cool cat with his awesome show and tell. We love that he brought a photo to go along with his Brookfield Zoo souvenir. It seems that a lot of Preschool friends have taken their photos on the famous lion.
