Circle Time:

• Good Luck, Bad Luck by Rick Brown
• Five Little Ladybugs by Melanie Gerth
• Love Songs of the Little Bear by Susan Geffers
• Llama Llama misses mama by Anna Dewdney
• Love-a-Duck by Alan James Brown

Music&Movement:

• The children really enjoyed playing "London Bridges Falling Down".
• We acted wild like lions and/or tame like lambs as we moved around the room.
• We sang and danced to "Ten Little Ladybugs"

Ready Readers:

• Worked on their letter pages for the end of the year books. 
• Played "Looking for Lizards" where I hid toy lizards all over the room and when they found one they would tell me something that began with the letter "Ll" or the sound "Ll" makes.
• In the creative play area this month we've had a mail center and this week we focused on finding letters on the letters in the mail.  Does that make sense? :)
• We didn't get a chance to do reading practice or flash cards due to the Valentine's Day parties.

Arts and Crafts:

• We made Chinese Lanterns at the beginning of the week for Chinese New Year.
• We made Love ornaments for the parents.
• The children made Love pouches to put their Valentine's in for the party.
• The Tuesday/Thursday class attempted to make "I Like You" bracelets out of Lifesavers at their party, but when it was a big ol' flop I decided not to do it with the other class! :)

Snack:

• Lemon cookies
• Lemonade
• Lays Potato Chips
• "LOVE" cookies and all kinds of other goodies at the party!

Funny moment:  After Dallin cut out his Chinese Lantern Garrett said to him, "Wow, I'm glad you didn't cut your fingers off.  I was worried about you buddy."
