Our theme this month is Transportation and Community Helpers. The children will be learning about different ways to travel. Some of their projects will include painting with toy cars, making transportation collages, and matching/sorting/counting colored cars and trucks. Community helpers and their jobs will also be discussed this month. 
Mike Nichols (Julie’s husband) will be here on Thursday, February 18, to talk to the children about his job as a lifeguard. Water safety at the beach and by swimming pools will be a number one topic!
The children will be exchanging valentines on Friday, February 12. Please find a list of names attached to the newsletter. Please send valentines for your child’s classmates (not the entire school). We will also have a Valentine’s Day party in each classroom that morning. Wish lists for party items will be posted in the classrooms. We appreciate any donations! An open invitation is extended to all our students. Parents of children who normally don’t attend school on Fridays will need to stay in the classroom with their child.
