What's Next!

Next week we will be talking about St. Patrick's Day! We will talk about Ireland and some of the Irish culture. We will be talking about potatoes, shamrocks, blarney stone, leprechauns, all things green, Ireland. We will look at the map to see how far away Ireland is, we will do some patterning and counting activities with shamrocks, we will make a blarney stone for luck, we will be playing lots of games with our shamrock letter cards, and so much more! An activity you could do at home is buy some Lucky Charms cereal and sort all the different shapes of cereal and marshmallows, then have a tasty snack with your child!

Chinese New Year

This week was a busy one! We celebrated the Chinese New Year! We also had our 100th day of school! The students got to rotate to four different classes and do 100 themed activities. For the Chinese New Year we made Good Luck Fish, lanterns, fans, flowers, Kites, Chinese Waist Drums and much more. The children tasted three types of Chinese Snacks today, Fortune Cookies, Pocky and La Choy Noodles.

We went inside and toured the brand new fire station!

We even got to hear the sirens!





The tires are bigger than some of our kids!
