Announcements:  We will be exchanging Valentines Wednesday and Thursday.  See calendar for the number of valentines you will need.  We will make fun sacks to keep all the valentines in that day.  We had many parents who were and are going to be able to help with the field trips this month.  Thank you so much  It was a great experience for the children to interact with the older adults and the adults just enjoyed the children so much.  I’m sure it will be the same this week!
Home Challenge:  Start a Valentine Tradition this year or keep an old one to help Valentines be special at your house.  You can heart attack your child’s room by putting hearts all over there door or help your child do it for an older sibling, grandparent, or dad.  Have a special meal for valentines where the whole family is together, or simply get together to play a family game.  Sometimes the simple traditions that you can easily keep are the best!
