Fasching & Valentines, F and H (February 4-8, 2013)

This week in Reception 1, we learned the true stories behind the Valentine's Day and Fasching holidays. We made hearts of all kinds as valentines for our family and friends. We also made Karneval masks with Mr. Bernard. We had a Valentine's Party on Thursday, and a Fasching festival on Friday. We had lots of fun this week while learning!
 
 The letter H
 
H is for HUGS!
 
H is for horse
 
 H is for heart
 
R1 Alphabet Dancers perform the letter H
 
Hearts and more hearts!
 
H is for honeybee
 
H is for hand-drawn, homemade horse
 
Can your child identify this thing that starts with the letter H?
 
 
Fun with the Letter F!

The Horses at Work
 
This week Miss Jolian took the Horses upstairs to work in Ms. Burnell's room with Ms. Burnell. They colored heart H's, painted hearts, and strung yearn through hearts. The Horses were proud of the work they did! Ms. Burnell was also happy with what they were able to achieve.

Reception 1 kids have a new song to sing, and we have been practicing it.
When we return from break, Mr. Bentgens will sing the song with us and play his guitar.
Then, we can perform this song in assembly, and teach the whole primary school!
 
To watch "What I Am," go to the Youtube link below:
 
Also, to reinforce learning, we watch Sesame Street videos in Reception 1.
If you'd like to watch some of these videos with your child, go to Youtube.com and
type in "Sesame Street" and any letter or number, and you can see an assortment of old and new videos (from the 1970s through now). The videos are lots of fun, and they show
Cookie Monster and other characters the kids love!
