Happy Valentines Day everyone.  We had an awesome day today.  We began today’s  fun with some large muscle play/control in the gym.  We had a great time playing with the parachute and inflatable valentines while working on listening skills, coordination and team work.  This excitement was followed with Music.  We returned to our classroom to pass out our valentines among our friends, we decorated cookies, and made a valentine ornament for you.

Next Wednesday will be Mrs.Ruddy’s last day with us in PreK.  Our last day with Mrs. Ruddy has come way to fast and we are not ready to say goodbye to her. However, she  has promised to return for a visit when she is able.  The children are invited to do a special  drawing of Mrs. Ruddy as she helped us in our classroom during these last several months. We will give her these drawings on Wednesday. Next week I will be working with the children as they print their hand prints on a tote bag for her.  We will later fill that bag with baby supplies to be given to her on a return visit.  In the meantime, we have met two new friends that will help in our classroom.  Come in and say ‘Hello’ to Mrs. Franke and Mrs. Schmitz.    These two wonderful ladies will be ‘job sharing’ the position of aid.  We are excited to have them share their time and talents with us for the rest of the school term.

Conferences begin next week, I am looking forward to being able to sit and chat with you about the wonderful growth your child has made this year.  The conference sheets will be posted in the classroom as a reminder of your time.

Remember – no school on Monday

Have a wonderful weekend with your families.
