With a budding need for socialization, February is always a favorite month for kindergartners. They love to talk about friendship, love and family.  And, there’s not a better way to express feelings than with valentines!  Or with a Valentine’s Tea Party!  Be on the lookout for a sign up to provide treats for the tea party on February 13th.  If you have tea cups you are willing to loan us for the party, please let me know. However, bear in mind there is always the chance they might get broken so please do not send ones that you treasure!

Yay!  Miss Dawn is now on the Kindergarten team!  Whenever possible she will be joining us for lessons and assignments.
Although we were not able to make frozen bubbles or snow ice cream (still on the agenda) we did use team building and cooperation skills to make a snowman named Wild Star.
