The Best Part of Me

There is a lot of school information going home today in your child's mailbox. Please check your child's mailbox at pickup. Thanks!

Thursday is Valentine's Day. We want to remind everyone that we do not do celebrations at AFC, therefore we will not be handing out cards or celebrating Valentines in any way. The children do a great job loving each other everyday! Thank you for understanding! Please enjoy the blog!

Good afternoon and welcome back from the weekend! The students came in today full of energy and excited to see their teachers and friends. To start the morning, we shared what we did over the weekend. There were several sleepovers at grandparents' houses, movie watching, and playing with siblings. We had a few more friends bring in donations for our "We can share" drive. We will be collecting donation throughout this week.

The students made choices that consisted of building, puzzle making, and creating letters out of blocks and light table materials. Some students went into the gym and exercised and played with Dogwood friends. Other played a letter game and a counting button game in the classroom. Later on, the students made drawings and designs on a big piece of paper brought in by one of our students. We laid the paper out across the floor and it almost ran the length of the classroom! The students enjoyed working on this art piece. We read a book called The Best Part of Me by Wendy Ewald. This book consists of poems written by children about their favorite parts of their bodies. The students wrote about their eyes, legs, feet, hands, back and hair and gave the reasons why they love this body part. After reading, each student shared their favorite body part and why. Ask your child about their favorite body part! We enjoyed a yummy lunch consisting of chicken fingers, fruit and a vegetable.
