Classroom Valentine's Day Celebrations

Orca Room 3 year olds:  Thursday, February 12th
Orca Room 4 year olds, all Unicorn classes: Friday, February 13th

Students are welcome to bring Valentine's cards for their friends, as well as join in fun Valentine themed activities and games.

Each student will have a "mail bag" outside of class for Valentine cards to be delivered to.  We ask that parents hand out cards at the beginning of class so that the mail bags can be taken home by each student at the end of the day.

**A special reminder about treats:**

If you choose to attach a small treat with Valentine cards, please be mindful of the allergies in your child's classroom and remember to read ingredient labels.  We are a NUT FREE school.  Thank you so much!

Our Emergent curriculum this month....

The Orca Room has shown a great deal of interest in rocket ship play and space!  During the month of February, they will be travelling to the far reaches of the universe and exploring Space!

The Unicorn Room has seen an increasing amount of talk and play surrounding all things animal related.  This month, they will be finishing off their international theme with trips to Fiji, Egypt, Australia and China, and will then explore an Animals theme!
