VALENTINE”S DAY:

Our Valentine party will be after gym and recess so we will not have a lot of time.  We will keep it simple.  The children will pass out their own Valentine’s.  We will watch a Valentine movie and enjoy a snack after recess.  If you signed up at fall conferences to bring a treat I have included a reminder at the end of this newsletter.  We had left over raspberry sherbet from our Christmas party and they asked if we could have it again!!  So our drink will be 7 UP and raspberry sherbet!

Following is a list of children’s names and any adults that help in the room.  Try to have your child write his/her name on the cards   They all do a fantastic job writing names!  Try to do a few cards each day to make it easier! 

We make Valentine bags in the classroom.
