Our character traits for this month are integrity and self-control.  When children are seen using these characters they receive a token for their token necklace!

Here is the Valentine information from past newsletter.  Please note—I forgot to add our high school helper to the list—Kayla comes the last hour of the day and helps!!!

VALENTINE”S DAY:

Our Valentine party will be after  lunch.  We will keep it simple.  The children will pass out their own Valentine’s.  We will watch a Valentine movie and enjoy a snack.  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.
