February 9th - 12th, 2026: LOVE & Valentine's Day!

Happy Thursday, Firefly Families!

This week we continued our focus on LOVE and celebrated Valentine's Day with our friends. We decorated bags for our valentines, sorted/patterned with conversation hearts, responded to the journal prompt, "Who do you love? Why?", painted hearts on the easel and went on a beginning sounds hunt around our room (fun for all!). We also went on a number hunt around the building so that we could practice our numeral writing and played a valentine roll & cover with numbers. We had so much fun at our Valentine/Friendship Party--thank you to our parents that planned/helped out!

Our HWT letter of the week was X and we read the books Love MonsterThe Day it Rained Hearts, Peppa's Valentine's DayHappy Valentine's Day, Curious George!.

*NO SCHOOL: Friday, February 13th for PD Day & Monday, February 16th for President's Day

February 9th - 12th, 2026: LOVE!

Hi Firefly Parents!

This week we focused on LOVE and Valentine's Day! We made valentine play dough, painted and decorated valentine frames for our parents, made our own heart lacing cards by cutting them out/punching holes/lacing with yarn, practiced our positional words in a mini book, responded to the journal prompt, "How do you show love to a friend?", & cut out hearts and decorated them into valentines at the writing center. Our HWT letter was W and we read the books Love Makes a Family, The I Love You Book, A Unicorn Named Sparkle and the Perfect Valentine and Somebody Loves You Mr. Hatch.

Reminders:

*Firefly Valentine/Friendship Party: Thursday, February 12th from 11-12

*NO SCHOOL! Friday, February 13th & Monday, February 16th for President's Day

*We still need another volunteer to bring an activity/craft for our party next Thursday from 11-12 if anyone can come and help!
