Finally, a Wednesday without a snowfall! The past two Wednesdays my preschool friends did not make it to my house due to school delays and cancellations. What a winter we have had....and there are two more months of winter ahead of us....ugh!

This Wednesday, February 13th, we talked about Valentine's Day of course and the letter "V". We did some string painting on large red hearts. This was not our only "messy" project. We also made bird feeders for our feathered friends. The kids spread peanut butter over bagels (and a great deal of it over their tongues), pressed the bagels into a pan of birdseed, and threaded a loop of yarn through the hole. Ta Da! Happy messy kids.....fat happy birds!

We read and sang Old MacDonald's Farm by Jessica Souhami. Ask your kiddo what "creature" was at his farm that said "beep, beep". We also read "If I Had a Hippo..." which is full of rhyming words. We came up with many of our own rhyming words and made-up words.

We played an alphabet game and a matching game but the most fun they all had was when we brought out the parachute! Ask them what we did with the parachute!

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! See you next week......I hope!
