| A fun afternoon of gross motor activity! |
Let's all click our heels three times and repeat after me;...spring come soon, spring come soon, spring come soon!
I am amazed at how well the children adapted this last month to our crazy schedule. Believe or not, there was learning going on at Wee World. With all of the late starts and early outs, then our first week of February not having school, we actually made some good progress on our last names! As of right now, there aren't any Frogs that don't recognized their last name!!! That is awesome. Name recognition is so huge for children this age. And when they can spell it, it gives them such a sense of pride and ownership. How many times before your child entered preschool did they ask you how to spell their name? Quite a few I imagine. Everyday we have white boards and dry erase markers out for them to use and a sentence card with their last name printed on it. We use it as one of our centers. They are free to choose that center and sit and write words they know ( we are up to 7 now) or their names. All of them can now write their first name. The Fish class is working hard on their first names too!
We have had a couple of wonderful days that we were able to go out and play too. It was so nice to get some fresh air and soak up the Vitamin D from the sun. We will be doing this from now on when the temps are 20* or above and we don't have a wind chill, so please make sure to send winter gear with your child.

Our upcoming Valentine party is going to be fun! We will be passing out Valentines in the classes on the day of the parties. Please send an empty cereal box with your child as soon as you can. These will be our Valentine boxes. They are so cute! There is an updated class list that we will send home at the beginning of next week so you can fill out Valentines. We have lost a week of February so we are down to the wire on our party. Also, let us know how many special visitors will be coming to spend the morning with your child on the 14th and 15th. We just need a count for the craft they will be putting together.

If you need receipts for a flex plan for taxes, let us know and we will send one home in your child's zipper pouch in the folder.
Have a super February!
