Let's Go To The Library

Thursday we went to visit our local public library. The kids had a great time playing some games before story time.


They all took a turn petting Josie the dog and introducing themselves.



After a fun story about circus dogs they sang some silly songs with Miss Nightingale.


Their favorite song is always the snowman song.


They got a copy of the fun songs they sang and a picture to color. We also made a thank you Valentine card for Miss Nightingale and then created a book mark to take home.


The library is a fun place to be!

Valentines Day Party

It wouldn't be a party without a party hat!


The kids designed their own HEART party hat made from a paper plate.



We ate HEART shaped cheese and crackers.



We learned to write, "I love you!" The kids each made a card for their moms and dads. Then they decorated a "mailbox" (paper bag) to hold all the cards they received from each other. They took turns delivering their mail and did a great job matching names on cards to names on bags.


And we played a fun game of BINGO.


We had a discussion about community helpers and how they serve us. Some of our favorites are police officers, teachers, mail carriers, and librarians. They all have important jobs!
