Just a note
This week I will be putting out a sign in sheet for the children to start signing themselves in everyday. It’s the time of year that we really want to focus on writing our name in order and in a smaller space so this is great practice for them.
Registration for 2014-2015 is this Wednesday for In-House Registration beginning at 9:15 in JLH and Open Registration will be held on Feb 7th.
Portfolios
We are really starting to discuss doing our best work and are starting a BEST WORKS file for their work, which will be going into their portfolios. We will be keeping more of their work to go in their portfolios, so you may not see as much go home but it will all together at the end of the year.
Valentines Party
Our Valentine’s Parties will be on Monday & Tuesday next week. As a class we will decide what kind of treats we would like for our parties and I will post a signup sheet after we vote on it. We will be exchanging Valentines. This is great practice for your child to practice writing their names on the back of their valentines. I don’t want this to be a chore or push the children that aren’t ready to write the other children’s names so there is no need to write names on the front.
This week in the Dragonfly Class
This week in the Dragonfly Class we will be discussing what it means to be a friend. How we can be a good friend and how we show people we care about them. We will be participating in friendship activities all week! Friendship painting, friendship poems, and freeze dance with a friendship twist! We will also be painting our cans for our valentines.
Word Wall
The letter of the week will be Rr for the next two weeks. The children love to bring items into share and this is a great way to have them start to think about beginning letter sounds so we encourage you to help your children find something they can bring in that starts with the letter of the week.
R is for RED!

Make New Friends
Make new friends,
But keep the old.
One is silver,
And the other, gold.
A circle's round
It has no end
That's how long
I'm gonna be your friend
