Dear Parents,
During February we celebrated friendship and encouraged lots of "friendly" activities.Our children seem to be on their way to understand what being a friend means,caring ,sharing,cooperation and respect.We feel that helping relationships and feelings grow is one of the most important things we do at Joytime.We try to be "children of peace" and to follow Rule #1:Never hurt anyone on the outside and never hurt anyone on the inside,an ongoing goal throughout the year.We enjoyed making lots of kinds of valentines and had fun being a "mail carrier" on Valentine's Day.
The letter "P" helped us celebrate Presidents,as we discussed what a president does,how Washington and Lincoln lived and traveled,including discovering that Lincoln was born in "Hodgenville",Kentucky!Purple,with purple clothes,purple food and art work.And how red and blue mixed together makes purple.Pajama Day was wonderful spending the day in our P.J.'s on our giant bed,including snacks of pancakes & pizza.The M/W/F a.m. and M/T/W/Th p.m. classes also enjoyed a visit from a staff member of the Lake Forest Library who read and told bedtime stories.
We finished the month with alphabet and number recognition(via games,puzzles,songs) art work and even alphabet and number counting snakes.
