Love is in the air!

Isn't love grand?  Especially when you have grandparents and special people to share your Valentine party with!  On Thursday and Friday last week, we had fun with grandparents and special visitors making a handprint flower and frosting sugar cookies.  Each class sang a couple of songs then we had the kid's sit with their visitors.  We handed out the paper to trace the children's handprints on and told everyone they could either use the "safety scissors" or have the child do it.  One of the funnest things was seeing some grandpa's using tiny scissors cutting out little hands!  It was great and they were great sports.  

We then passed out cookies and let the frosting commence.  My one rule was to let the children frost their own cookies...sometimes it happened sometimes it didn't.  But all in all it was a great two days where we as teachers get to see some new and familiar faces that we don't get to see that often.  I treasured my grandparents when they were here and I know what a wonderful influence they are on the lives of their grandchildren.  It was an honor for us to host this very fun event.  

Well, with the weather kicking up again, who knows what this week will bring.  We would like to be done making up snow days.  From looking at the calendar, we should be back to alternating Friday's beginning in March.  Which is only a couple of weeks away!  Wow has this year flown by!  

I hope this blog will be a fun addition to our preschool and one that you will feel comfortable sharing with others.  We love your children!
