Week of 2/11

Dear Honey Bear Room Parents,

It’s been another amazing week in the Honey Bear Room here at MCS!  We began our Valentine’s Day theme.  The children were excited to get “mail” on Valentine’s Day!
 
Theme This Week:

• Valentine’s Day.
• P was our letter of the week.  Everyone loves pizza and penguins!

 
Books We Read:

• Clifford’s First Valentine, by Norman Bridwell
• The Valentine Bears, by Eve Bunting

 
Places We Went:

• Movement with Lindsay. 
• Gym 2 and Gym 3.

 
Classroom Activities:

• Made heart patterns and played a heart/mailbox count and match game. 
• We put together broken hearts and also laced hearts. 
• Finished valentine patterns and did beautiful “love bug” coloring. 
• Read a Clifford magazine called “Hooray for Friends” and made adorable love bugs. 
• Used our felt board to tell a story about mailing letters.

 
Highlights:

• We had a pajama pancake party to celebrate Valentine’s Day!  The children made heart shaped pancakes while wearing their pajamas.  They really enjoyed those delicious pancakes and exchanging valentines.  What a terrific day!
• Luca Guercio was our Person of the Week.  He shared all of his pictures with us and did a great job telling us about himself and his family.  His mom read a Paw Patrol Book about Christmas.  Then we had a blast making another kind of love bug with lots of sparkle!  Thanks Luca!
