HAPPY BIRTHDAY!~
Yesterday we celebrated Jack's birthday.  Jack's sister, Cami, read the book, I Love You Stinky Face!  Then, we enjoyed Timbits and sugar cookies for a birthday treat.  Happy Birthday, Jack!

Jack also shared some dance moves with us and then....
...the whole class joined in!
FREE CHOICE~
Decorating bags for collecting our Valentines.
A great fine motor activity.....children insert pipe cleaners into a salt shaker.  They can then add beads on to the pipe cleaners.  Once children are finished with their creation, they find a place in the room to set their decoration for the rest of the day.
