<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>Valentine’s Day Celebration will be on Thursday, February 11<sup>th</sup>. In the case of a snow day, our celebration will occur the next school day we have. </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
AM Celebration will begin at 10:00 a.m..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PM Celebration will begin at 1:15 p.m.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Parents are welcome to join us! We will have Valentine’s themed events in each of our centers. Parents and other guests will be invited to join your child as they explore these centers. We will also personally pass out valentines into our friends’ boxes and enjoy snacks before our day ends. PLEASE SIGN UP FOR OUR LIST OF ITEMS IN THE HALLWAY FOR OUR CLASS PARTY. We are always looking forward to celebrating in our classroom!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you choose to bring Valentine's from your child, please ensure they bring a Valentine for each child. Attached is a class list. We encourage you to let your child write their classmate's name on their valentine while also signing their own name representing who the valentine is from. (PLAN AHEAD AS THIS COULD BE A LONG TASK THAT MIGHT BE BEST OVER A FEW DAYS) Also, please help your child decide if they want to either make their own valentines or purchase pre-made store versions; either way the children LOVE seeing the personalities of their friends through these tokens.</div>

Allow your child's imagination to be used in their creation of their box. Please ensure your child's name is visible and large enough for a child to see and read as STUDENTS will distribute their valentines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">Remember this is a project for you and your child to do together. There will be flaws, it might not be perfect (but it will totally be perfect to them); but the point is that THEY made it. Their sense of pride when they create something is amazing! Encourage them each step!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16pt; line-height: 24.5333px;">Tips to remember: You want the box big enough that 20 valentines (and possible goodies attached) can fit within it AND make sure your child's name is big enough to be seen on the front of the box.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; line-height: 13.8px;">Diwali, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, and Christmas are all discussed during the month of December in our classroom. For each holiday, there will be a short video assisting in the explanation of the celebration. While no participation in right/wrong discussion regarding these holidays will happen; we want each parent to be aware of the videos being shared. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; margin-bottom: 8pt; padding: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; line-height: 13.8px;">While these celebrations are important and create the morals and standards that some of our families build their lives around, the conversations regarding a child's view will never begin with a staff's inquiry or be challenged by individuals within our classroom setting. It is joyous to hear your children share their thoughts with others, of all topics, as these conversations are building friendships and trust. </span></div>

Students made floats for their teddy bears (and other animals) with their families at home. During small group students lined up and walked through each classroom at Children First. As they pulled their floats they grew in confidence! As they waved their hands they understood more about presenting in public. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">What an incredible time they had showing off the perfect float they each made!</span><br />

Fire drills, shelter in place, and our emergency lock down drill. These drills require students to remain quiet for their protection and cooperation. They have all done a fantastic job learning new things that might be scary for them. <br />

It is great practice to ensure children understand what to do in an emergency at home as well. This week your at home project is to talk with your little ones about fire safety in your home. Where do you go in case of a fire? Where do you meet outside of your home? How do they get out of their room? <br />
<br />
Need help with what to do and how to plan your home fire safety procedures? <a href="http://www.homefiredrill.org/?p=plan-home-fire-drill">Homefiredrill.org</a> offers great tools to prepare your family for an emergency like this. Use this as a helpful resource or go to your local fire station for information.<br />
<br />
A fire engine and ambulance will be by the school soon for a visit. Students will have the opportunity to tour the vehicles and go inside of them. Pictures will follow.<br />

These bags are reusable colored bags that your child has the ability to choose 2 books from our class library and take home for a week. Beginning a love of reading starts at home. Reading to your little ones each night, having them sit on your lap, pointing to words and letters in the books, asking them questions about the book or what they think will happen in the book, and then using the composition book. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">The composition books are a great way to encourage your child to grow in comprehension and understanding what they read (was read to them). Let them draw a picture of something they remember from the book. Let them tell you a sentence or two and you dictate it exactly as they say it. Then finally, have them practice writing their name. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Can your child write their name already? Practice writing their last name too. Practice proper upper and lower case letters. Practice improving what they are already doing.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Is your child currently practicing how to write their name? Write it for them and ask for them to copy it. Give it a shot! We (the parents) sometimes feel like our children are not ready or capable of doing this. But let them show off their skills for you. You might be surprised. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Scholastic books offer great books at awesome prices! Ordering books either through the Scholastic fliers that come home or online at the <a href="http://www.scholastic.com/">Scholastic website</a> (with our classroom code NF6ZF) offers a wide selection including clearance books online. Scholastic orders are shipped to our school and distributed into your child's backpack. If you choose to purchase books as a gift, please just email me (Miss Shelly) so we can place them in a paper bag for delivery at pick up/drop off.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;">Our next book order is due by October 21st in order to have delivery to you by the end of October. We do book orders monthly. If you are interested in holiday books, make sure to order them in advance so you have have them the week of each holiday.</span></span><br />

This month's theme is All About Me. Helping our new students to familiarize themselves with the world around them and sharing about who they are is a big deal, especially to a four/five year old!</div>

At the art easel we placed mirrors, encouraging the kids to look at themselves in the mirror and to draw themselves. What color eyes do you have? What shape of a face do you have? How can you draw that on your paper? Their creations were wonderful.</div>

In the Math center, students were encouraged to walk around the room and look at our All About Me pennants and document/graph some of the responses. We were also able to practice how to hold a writing utensil.<br />

In the block center, students enjoyed using the toy cars and trains with a drawing of our center parking lot. Seeing a familiar scene, like our parking lot, assists students in understanding more of the world around them.<br />

Playdoh was also opened and started this past week. Working on fine motor skills is a bonus when children use it. Play doh is available each day in Pre K. Playing with it on our white surfaces and ensuring students wash their hands after each use is also in practice.<br />

We also were able to catch a few critters to add to our science center this week. The hysterical scene watching Miss Shelly and Miss Jasay catch the cricket was a sight to be seen! These insects are in our bug viewers and the students love coming over to look at them with the magnifying glasses.<br />

During small group this week, students were encouraged to draw pictures of their classmates. We worked on understanding what features were noticed on our classmates that we should include in these pictures. Helping everyone understand that a picture of a person can include eyes, nose, mouth, hands, feet, fingers, etc. <br />

We also practiced our public speaking as every student that brought back in their All About Me pennant was able to share them with the class. Getting to know our classmates and encouraging respectful behavior. It's so much fun getting to know everyone.<br />

Our class parties cannot happen without our parents. Thank you to each person that has ever volunteered to run a center during a party or to plan and organize one. The time and thoughtfulness that goes into them shows. And the faces of excitement on your little one's faces are worth all of the chaos. They look forward to these special days. THANK YOU!!!!</div>

It's hard to believe that we are already in the month of April! We have been so busy planning and organizing exciting fun things that I apologize for not posting fun pictures of things we've been doing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Our Original Works projects went home. They had such a great time making them! We hope you enjoyed them as much as your little ones enjoyed making them. These projects will be back to us before Mothers Day! YIPPEEE. And you will get the original art piece back as well. </div>

Encouraging students to think creatively without examples of art pieces assist in drawing out their imaginations. In our block center we have two boxes where students have been working hard on creating their own doll house. These items are so imaginative and full of their personalities! Please stop in the class and check them out!</div>

During free choice time students are encouraged to learn together. Working as a team, during "Week of the Young Child" our students were building towers and houses for our miniature people to live in. This is one huge tower and such pride in showing it off!</div>

Using marshmallows and toothpicks, students were beginning to understand 3D shapes and objects. Allowing students to create and engineer projects is exciting as their imaginations are growing with the empowerment to make what they want. We were able to sit with them and talk as they built to strengthen their knowledge on what a 1D shape is compared to 3D.<br />

Huge thank you to Jefferson County Public Schools for allowing their bus to come by the facility for a tour of the bus and a fire evacuation drill on it. Both our AM and PM classes were able to participate. Enabling our students to see the inside of a school bus prior to boarding one on the first day of school will help excite them for the opportunity when it arises. Their faces were so fun to watch! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">NEA’s Read Across America Day is a nationwide reading celebration that
takes
place annually on March 2—Dr. Seuss’s birthday. Across the country,
thousands of schools, libraries, and community centers participate by
bringing together kids, teens, and books, and you can too! CHEERS has challenged each family to spend time each night reading as a family. What have been some of your favorite books you are reading each night?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Not all of our parents get the opportunity to walk into our building. This past Saturday our staff volunteered their time to come in and decorate the facility to help surprise our families with Seussville. We hope you have enjoyed seeing the decorations and it continues to be an encouragement to fall in love with reading!</span></span><br />

Our class became scientists with scientific journals. Doing experiments as a class helped students to understand more what the word hypothesis means and how to make predictions during experiments that are backed up with reasoning. Students shared their results from the experiments with another student and greatly enjoyed having their own journal to document their findings. (*These journals went home this past week)</div>

While the snowstorms and cancelled school days affected our number of experiments. The students enjoyed the fun experiments and growth learning about what a hypothesis is and how to make predictions for experiments.</div>

Black History Month gave us the opportunity to share with students the great things African Americans have done to help make our world a better place. During these talks two of their favorite crafts were making "President Obama" where each student was able to share with us what they would do if they were president. These crafts are hung up in our classroom and will be distributed at the end of the year with their portfolios. We also learned who Dr. Martin Luther King was and how he has challenged each of us to show Love and Respect instead of Hurt and Hate. <br />

We cannot forget to share about our wedding of letters Q and U. Thank you so much to Miss Jill, our site supervisor, for standing in as our Priest to marry our letters. The students had a huge blast sharing the items they brought in that started with letter Q and U as well as watching the marriage ceremony and enjoying a cake and cookie at the end. <br />

organizations from around the world on February 12, 2015 for a
Just-A-Minute (JAM) fitness break. For two years in a row West Virginia
has had more schools participate than any other state in the nation. JAM Day for JAM World Record is the first of its kind physical
activity campaign created to rally everyone to pause wherever they are
at 10:00 a.m. their local time for a quick fitness break to promote the
importance of making physical activity a lifelong daily habit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our Pre K class joined in with JAM Day as we danced away to "Happy" led by Miss Scooter. We participated in stretching and dancing during our gross motor time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Teaching students the importance of making physical activity a lifelong daily habit is important in our classroom. Helping children to desire to make healthy choices each day, includes physical activity.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This year at Christmas, I received this quote from two students to hang on my wall. I couldn't have said it any better myself :) One now hangs outside our classroom and the other hangs in my home office. (HUGE thank you to those parents, you all must really "get me"). Of all the gifts to unwrap, this tugged at my heart this year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Last year I had a student, Khloe, who was diagnosed at four years old with Neurofibromatosis. Khloe is full of excitement, spunk, energy, and a love of life that is so contagious she lights up every room she enters! Could you imagine learning that your child, at four years old, has hundreds of tumors on their brain. Currently Khloe travels to DC for appointments every three months to monitor these tumors. I couldn't imagine the alteration in life for her parents, Donnie and Kara, and the strength it takes to remain happy, loving, and most importantly teaching these traits to their children. When Kara posted that their family was running in a race to help bring awareness to what Neurofibromatosis (NF) is and to help raise money for Children's Tumor Society, it was not even a second thought that I was going to join along and run it with them!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Cupid's Undie Run, yes you read that right! Cupid's Undie Run! Running a race in our undies on Sunday with temperatures as high as 22 degrees to help raise awareness and funds to find a cure for NF. I would do this race for any one of "my kids." I am running this race for Khloe, for my niece Tamera, and for any of my future students to help find a cure and #EndNF. I couldn't imagine a Christmas morning waking up not knowing if it was the last with my sweet five year old. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Part of my role as a Pre K teacher is to help bring awareness and support to families and organizations that benefit our community. Last year you might recall many Jefferson County households dying their hair "Blue for Bean." Khloe's nickname is Bean. It is with great honor and joy that I am able to participate in this run. </span></div>

If you choose to bring Valentine's from your child, please
ensure they bring a Valentine for each child.
Attached is a class list. We
encourage you to let your child write their classmate's name on their valentine
while also signing their own name representing who the valentine is from. (PLAN AHEAD AS THIS COULD BE A LONG TASK THAT
MIGHT BE BEST OVER A FEW DAYS) Also,
please help your child decide if they want to either make their own valentines
or purchase pre-made store versions; either way the children LOVE seeing the
personalities of their friends through these tokens.</div>

A great preparation for our visit to the animal shelter to see how our students need to remain calm around new animals. The students in the morning Pre K class absolutely loved the opportunity to meet your new family pet.<br />

Also this week our students continued their growth while working with the Bee Bots. Programming the bumble bees to move around their grid from numbers 1 - 20 continues their growth in number recognition as well as using some cool technology to lead the way. Students were able to either work in small groups or solo.<br />

With indoor gross motor we have been connecting more involvement with catching and throwing balls. Teaching children to keep their eye on the ball with small soft tosses while indoors helps with safety as well. Their faces when they catch it is amazing! To become a greater challenge, they get to try to clap once or twice before catching the ball.<br />

Have you seen how awesome your child can write their name? Here we are connecting each child writing their name with an additional hand eye coordination of letting them paint (it's just water) over top of their name. Practicing forming letters in different ways is strengthening their literacy while having a little fun while we do it.<br />

Here is a fun idea for upper and lower case practice. Using clear spoons for upper case letters and white spoons for lower case letters , students work in small groups to match letters together. Working together as a team is encouraging for both students that have a strong knowledge to strengthen their leadership and also gives encouragement to student that haven't yet mastered this area.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We celebrated National Bubble Bath Day, as students brought in their rubby duckies for a "river race." They had so much fun using their own personal straw to blow their ducky from one end of the river to the other. Watching their strategies as they altered them to get their ducky to go faster has shown a lot of growth in each little one. So much fun watching the competitive side come out in a healthy way. We even had cheerleaders that wanted to stay and watch each person go to cheer them on.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bringing snow in from outside was pure joy for them. Their face lit up when they saw us bring it in. We also froze water this week in cups to let them stack large ice cubes to see what would happen when they slid. Some of the kids quickly learned to pack snow onto the ice to then stack them. Smart brains!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">How tall are you in snowballs? A super fun activity where we measured each student by "snowballs" and then allowed their imagination to go as they decorated their snowman. Connecting more Math, each student wrote numbers on their snow balls as they counted how many snowballs tall they were. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We use a lot of glue sticks in our class, but not often do we use Elmers glue (the kind you squeeze). What a great fine motor activity to have more practice how to effectively squeeze out the glue with just enough strength to cover the lines of our snowflakes. When they were done, we covered them with glitter and they will be hung around the classroom this week.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Learning a new gross motor game this week was fun! Spinning the wheel, seeing what activity the class is to do and then showing them a number (how many times we are to do the activity). Associating gross motor with cognitive growth, like number recognition 1 - 20, is providing more hands on ways to learn.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Painting with water. Who doesn't like to write their name? :) Here students are showcasing how they wrote their name in chalk and then used a paint brush and water to follow over top of their letters. Connecting again, cognitive growth with fine motor skills, another great way you too can do this at home! (This center will be available next week as well as each student was not able to attend due to snow delays)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Fine motor practice as students used a knife to cut pieces off of a banana and then put together their own miniature snowmen. Their faces when I mentioned they were allowed to use a knife was priceless! Parents you have done a great job teaching them the safety of not using them. Questions like "is my Mom okay with this?" and "Are you going to tell my Mom I used a knife?" were heard.</span></div>

I used The Pampered Chef's "My Safe Cutter" knife. A great knife that does cuts through cooked meats and veggies/fruits but does not cut flesh or uncooked meats. Great tool to use at home if you want your child to gain more independence at meal times or more fine motor and hand/eye coordination skills. </div>

Enjoy some insight of what your little ones may have already shared with you!</span><br />

Lily, our class elf, has been quite busy keeping up with watching over our little ones at the school. The kids all love coming in to the class and finding what great things she has done. Our class elf encourages our kids to have great behavior as she learns from them and her behavior "reflects theirs." Here Lily has prepared herself morning breakfast. <br />

When we return from holiday break, indoor gross motor activities will be so important! One of their favorite activities is the parachute. Finding fun ways to help them practice gross motor activities like balancing on one foot, hopping, etc. is valuable to their growth. If you are interested in coming in to help teach a great gross motor activity, please connect with Miss Shelly. We would love to have you!</div>

Another gross motor activity they greatly enjoyed was our snowman! Having the opportunity to throw bean bags and knock over "Frosty" was so much fun! Learning how to take turns was an even greater lesson. Watching their faces light up when they threw a bean bag and knocked over more than one piece to Frosty was priceless. Another lesson practiced, was learning how to play then pick up as each student had to replace the pieces to Frosty before the next person could take their turn.</div>

Miss Shelly spends a lot of time at home preparing new fun games that everyone can enjoy and grow with. Here is an example of something you can do at home too! Writing words on our Pre K lines (it is important for our students to continually see the proper formation of letters in all areas) and then searching for the same letter to place on top of them. I have chosen to write letters on small wooden blocks (also works their fine motor skills in their patience in turning the blocks to find the right letter); we also have used milk jug tops or Popsicle sticks. If you don't have anything like this, cut up pieces of paper and write a letter on each piece. It's just the idea of looking for the matching letter and saying each letter out loud as they place it on the card. An advanced version of this, write each word in lower case letters and encourage them to match the upper case to the lower case letter.</div>

Every student practiced great fine motor skills as they each wrapped their own present to their loved ones. In the writing center they were able to write a card to their loved one as well choosing a greeting to write and their name. What an awesome job they did!</div>

A little bit of extra fun in our dramatic play area as we turned the kitchen around and created a fire place complete with cookies, hot chocolate and sharing holiday stories. Each student also got to see their stocking hung.</div>
