Hi families!
This week we will be learning about and celebrating two exciting holidays - Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year, which happens to fall on the 14th this year. Many of you have been asking what the plan is for Valentine's parties. Each class has a different plan, so I will give you the info on my class. We will be having a party in class both Thursday and Friday. Parents are not required to be there for the parties, but are, as always, welcome to join us. I am planning to lengthen our snack time for the party so that the rest of the day's schedule can remain mostly the same. If you would like to send in a special Valentine's snack or treat for the class, feel free, but it is certainly not a requirement. Your child can bring in valentines for the class and we will deliver them during the party. I will have multiple copies of the class list of names available starting tomorrow for you to take.
As we will be making our Valentine mailboxes in class, please send with your child a shoebox or other box with lid for him or her to decorate. If you can, go ahead and wrap the box ahead of time in plain brown paper (paper grocery sack works well) or wrapping paper. (The lid should be wrapped separately so that it can still come off.) This will save a lot of time in the decorating process since it is difficult for our kiddos to wrap on their own. If you do not have a box or paper, don't worry, I have some extra supplies at school. Also, since we will be talking about love and friendship and everything that goes into Valentine's Day, please send in a photo for our "People We Love" board. This can be your child's family member or best friend, anyone they'd like to remember on our photo board at school.
On a side note, there are several jackets and sweaters that have been living at school for quite some time. Check the second set of hooks in the hallway to make sure your child's clothes aren't one of the lost. :)
Thanks everyone, and as always feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas!
