January 28, 2019 3:50 pm Mrs. Cappelluti Week of January 28, 2019 Our Theme: Happy, Healthy Hearts & Groundhog Day   This week we will have fun getting ready for Valentine’s Day. We will discuss it’s meaning and talk about the people we love and why. We will focus on keeping our hearts healthy by “getting them pumping” with lots of moving and exercising, as well as exploring healthy eating choices.  We have some great Valentine’s crafts and learning games planned, even a Valentine’s science experiment! We will have our class celebrations on 2/13 and 2/14. (The children are encouraged to bring little Valentine’s for their classmates and will enjoy delivering these to the class on our party days.) Groundhog Day will be explored and “acted out” in class this week. Please ask the children to act it out for you at home with their very own groundhog puppet that they create at school. What a busy week!   Literature: Love is a Handful of Honey by Giles Andreae Groundhog Day by Betsy Lewin Heartprints by P.K.
