February is here and LOVE is definitely in the air. Our little ones are growing up too fast and I have told them and told them that they can not have boy friends and girl friends till they get out of college and get a job. ANND no kissing till they get married! Hopefully the icky germs and cooties talk will keep them young for a little longer. We have been having a great time and this week your children might have been coming home talking "Cowboy talk". Our first unit this month is "Cowboys". And they have LOVED it so far. Everyone wants a horse and to dress up  like a cowboy. Next week we will get a head start on Valentine's Day and finding out why we have it. We will be having a Valentines Party and we will ask the children to bring 13 Valentines to share with their class mates. There is nothing sweeter then when the children get to open their Valentines! {Please  let them sign their own name on the Valentines so that they get extra practice and they can say they did it themselves.  They are so proud and I am sure they will show us! We will talk about Dental health the week of Valentine's Day. And have a celebration of our 100 day at school on Wednesday the 15th. Library Liz will be here on the 16th and we will have Spanish Class on the 17th. The week of the 19th we will be talking about some famous Americans. Then on the week of the 27th we will be Rock and Rolling to celebrate our Festival of Friends. That will be on the night of March 1. {Be sure and make reservations} Then on March 2 we will have a teacher's workday so we can rest after having so much fun! I hope your children are talking about what they are doing and they can't wait to come to school in the morning. The children are really learning a lot and Beckye and I are very proud of each and every one. Thank-you for letting us be part of their lives!
