Hello Parents,
Our 100th day of school was very fun and successful! Thank you for all the donations of time and goods that came in. Now we will get ready for our next party. I have a list of things needed for our Valentine’s Day party next Thursday, February 14, on trackitforward, I will share the links at the bottom of this post.
For some years now in Early Childhood our traditional Valentine’s Day party has evolved to include a special breakfast/brunch as a more formal snack. To incorporate Montessori’s grace and courtesy, we have the students help set the tables, complete with cloth table cloths. They also arrange the flowers for the center piece and serve one another. We talk about what kind of manners people use at a restaurant like putting their napkins on their laps and not talking with their mouth full. We will eat “family style” with a group of about six children eating at a time.
Each child will make a Valentine’s bag at school to collect any Valentine’s they might receive. If you are sending your child with Valentines to deliver please just address them by who they are from, not designating who they are going to (this makes delivery much easier). The AM class has 20 students and the PM class has 24 students. On the trackitforward page, I included three spots for parent volunteers. Here are the links to sign up-
