Valentine's Day Party on Thursday the 12th We are having our Valentine's party on Thursday this week. If your child doesn't regularly attend school on Thursday, we would love to have them join us as 11amfor our party. There is a sign-up sheet outside the classroom for some things we need for the party. Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks! Last Week - Night and Day/Nocturnal Animals We had a lot of fun last week learning about the differences between night and day, nocturnal and diurnal animals (ask your kids which we are!), as well as reading and painting in the dark. Just a quick reminder-- there are plenty of viruses going around right now, so please make sure to call, text, or email to let us know if your child is sick and not going to be at school. Thanks!

This Week We will be doing a lot of heart projects, talking about the things we love, and having our Valentine's party this week. The party will be at 11am on Thursday. Check your child's cubby for a list with all of our Butterfly friends names. If your child would like to bring Valentine cards, we ask that they bring one for every friend. Thank you! Word Wall - Letter P This week we will be focusing on the letter P for pop, pink, and pet. Please help your child find something that begins with the letter P if they would like to bring in something for sharing. Thanks!
