January music classes were full of movement as we started the year off dancing to the Month Macarena, being silly with Tooty-Ta and Marching Around the Alphabet! We had fun playing various instruments and making our own marching band- it was truly a joyful noise! We are also learning songs about LOVE to share with our parents during Sing and Celebrate in February and sing at St. David's 9am service on February 5th. We hope you will join us!

"A friend is what the heart needs all the time."
Henry Van Dyke
February is the month God gives us to remind us about love and friendship! We will tell you that love and friendship are everywhere in the school, all the time! Our teachers help all of the children learn what it means to be a friend and how to make and keep friends. This is a life-long skill and it's a skill that we need to teach our children and help them practice. We all can use a little help making and keeping friends as the years go by! A visit to the library can help you find some great books on friendship. Try a few of these:
How to Be a Friend by Laurie Krasny Brown and Marc Brown;
Can I Play Too? by Mo Willems;
Yes We Can! By Sam McBratney. Grab a book, a friend and a cozy spot to read and enjoy together!
Blessings,
Julie and Ann-Marie

CAR LINE REMINDERS:
Please do not pull out of car line until the cars in front of you have moved. It is very dangerous to pull around the car in front of you. We have had some near accidents because of this. We try to move car line along as quickly as we safely can. Also, only the first 6 cars are pull in front of the church. You need to be in line by 11:45 or 3:45. As the weather gets colder the Director's will need be waiting outside so you will be considered late. We appreciate your patience and help making car line safe.
FOOD REMINDERS:
Please be sure that students and/or siblings do not come in to school with open food. Due to our allergy food policy, we ask that any snacks eaten on the way to school be left in the car.
Thank you! |
