We are beginning to wrap up our clothing study. Upcoming studies including buildings, construction, and recycling. These studies will overlap somewhat. I have a few ideas in mind for some big projects that include both building and recycling. More information soon.
Thank you to Mae's mom and Eva's dad for helping the children with the string sculpture projects. We read the book "The Things a String Can Be" and then made our own class book. Each child used their imagination to think of something they could do with a piece of string. the children really enjoyed getting messy and sticky with the glue and string to create their string sculptures. We also had visits in the morning from Izzi's mom and Charlie's dad. Izzi's mom is a dietitian and talked to the class about her job and the children also learned about the food groups. Charlie's dad is a fire fighter and paramedic. He talked about his uniform, his job, and fire safety. Lastly. Paige's mom came and read the book "Chocolatina" about a little girl who turns into chocolate. Next week we will have a visit from a Norwood Police Officer. Thank you to all the parents who support our classroom in various ways!
The children enjoyed passing Valentines out to their friends this week.
We now have a tabletop light panel for the children to use and explore. It has been very popular this week. I am working on writing a grant to acquire additional materials to use with the light panel.
I enjoyed meeting with several parents last night for parent-teacher conferences and I look forward to meeting with everyone else next week on Thursday and Friday.

*Please make sure you fill out and turn in the bright orange form with your plans for your child for next school year. If your child will be returning to preschool, this form secures a spot for him/her. It also helps in the planning process so we know how many spots we will have available for new students next year.
*If you are planning to send a sibling next year, you will need to fill out a new student registration form and turn it in on Parent Information Night (Thursday February 26th).
*If you know other families in the community with preschool age children, please encourage them to attend the Parent Information Night to learn about programs available in Norwood and register their child for preschool.
