Week of 2/11

Dear Red Room Teachers,

​Love was in the air this week in the Red Room. Here are some of our heartfelt activities:
 
Theme:

• Valentine’s Day

Books We Read:

• The Queen of Hearts by, Mary Engelbreit
• Love, Ruby Valentine by, Laurie Friedman

Centers:

• We colored boxes to hold our Valentines in and made a special gift for a loved one in the art center.
• The children decorated hearts and wrote Vday messages  in the writing center.
• In the math center the children measured the length of a paper heart using heart candies.
• In the science center, the children explored momentum by building different ramps with wooden blocks and rolling objects such as toy cars and balls down them. We then made a chart of which objects rolled the farthest and the fastest.
• We cooked Brunch for Lunch in the cooking center! The children worked together to write menus and make a delicious lunch for each other. The menu included grilled cheese, pancakes, and fruit parfaits.

Something Fun We Did:

• Dental hygienist Clara visited us to teach us about taking care of our teeth!
