Week of 2/4

Hello Sky Room Families!

This week the Sky Room has been continuing to learn all about our feelings and began to learn about Valentine’s Day! We have discussed what it means to feel love for someone or something, and ways to express these feelings. Here are some of fun activities that we’ve been enjoying!

Classroom Activities:

• Each student made Valentine’s Day cards for YOU! After thoughtful consideration, each student chose which colored heart (red, pink, purple) they wanted to make, and decorated them using stickers and hearts. They also glued down a lovely poem and placed it inside of the heart.


• We created an AB pattern by choosing two different colored hearts – their choices were red, pink, and purple. This type of activity lays the foundation for solid pre-math skills!


• The students worked on their fine motor skills and strengthening their hand muscles by either ripping up pieces of paper or using scissors to cut small pieces. Though this may sound easy, this is quite a difficult task! After they ripped/cut the pieces of paper, they were asked to glue the paper inside of a paper heart. The heart was then glued onto a piece of pink paper that read “I Love You To Pieces”. This project is currently featured on the bulletin board inside our classroom!

Songs We Sang:

• “If You Love Me and You Know It"
• “5 Little Hearts All In A Row”


• We had another fun-filled school-wide assembly! 

Books We Read:

• “Big Heart!”, by Joan Holub
• “Splat the Cat: Funny Valentine”, by Rob Scotton
• “Won’t You Be My Kissaroo?”, by Joanne Ryder

Reminders:

• Please send in your children's Valentine’s Day cards. We will be having the students hand out their cards on Thursday, February 14th in class.
• MCS will be closed from Monday, 2/18 and will re-open on Thursday, 2/21 for President’s Day

​
Have a great weekend!
