Week of 2/4

Dear Sun Room Families,

We started talking about Valentine’s Day which is coming up soon. During Circle we discussed what it means to feel love for someone or something, and ways to express or show these feelings. We talked about how in the Sun Room we take care of our classroom, are nice to one another, and give hugs if someone is feeling sad or if we love them.

​Take a peak below to see what the Sun Room children learned this week at Montclare.
 
Books we read:

• Caps for Sale, by Esphyr Slobodkina
• Biscuit’s Valentine’s Day, by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
• IIama llama I love You , by Anna Dewdney

 
Song we sang:
A Valentine For You
Tune to: “Farmer In The Dell"
A valentine for you 
A valentine for you 
A valentine, a valentine 
A valentine for you 
 
Specialists we saw:

Classroom Activities:

• Continued our winter exploration, we created winter trees to decorate our classroom with. The children used small, circular sponge brushes in white paint to stamp their tree and background with. We topped it off with glitter which added a nice sparkly touch!
