February may be a short month but it is full of celebrations!
On the 12th we celebrated Valentine's Day. The children in all the classrooms enjoyed special crafts, snacks and games. We are so thankful to the wonderful parent volunteers who organized all the fun. Every year it amazes us just how l o n g it takes to help the children pass out their valentines and goodies into the paper bags we decorate to hold them! But, it is a special time for each of them so we just can't rush them.
February 18th marked the 100th Day of School! This is always a huge milestone for kindergarten. We made crowns, necklaces and a 100 piece snack mix. The children worked on 100 collections at home and brought them into share. The highlight for me is always reading the letters parents wrote to celebrate their children's growth. I always get misty reading them! These children are very loved!
On February 19th we celebrated Chinese New Year. The children got to eat rice with chopsticks! This is always fun to watch. Making lanterns, dragon puppets and finding out what year they were born was also fun. Most of the children were born in the year of the Monkey. Monkeys are smart and funny according to Chinese legend. Most of the children were excited to be Monkeys but a few wanted to change their sign. I had one student who wanted to be a T-rex! Only in kindergarten :)
