Community Day
Community day is a day where the whole school comes together to learn, play, and even dance together.  The focus of this community day was to celebrate Black History Month.  We danced to great music from Louis Armstrong.  We colored pictures of great black Americans like Maya Angelou.  We even played a game of  red light, green light in honor of  Garrett Morgan who invented the traffic light.





Mardi Gras
We had a parade with Mrs. Clay to celebrate Mardi Gras! Oh when the Saints go marching through the hall of HCA.





Teeth
This week we continued to talk about how to care for our teeth. We talked about healthy foods as a treat for our teeth. We glued pictures of healthy food and not so healthy foods to happy and sad teeth. We learned how to cut up bananas as a healthy treat.  We learned how to clean and peel carrots as a healthy treat.  We also looked at different animals teeth.  We even painted with tooth brushes last Friday.

Look at our little workers go!

Random Act of Kindness
 Image result for Kindness Quotes for Kids

We were so lucky to have picked Mrs. Devenney's Class
as our special friends to show kindness too.
I read one of my favorite books, "The monster at the end of this book.”
We then had a little play-doh fun with Nursery 3.
  What a great time!
It is also a good way to show the children in Nursery 2
what is next for them when they go to Nursery 3.

We were then gifted an act of kindness from our fabulous 4th graders. 
They came down to our classroom to read books with our children.
They were paired up and off they went on their reading adventure! 
I was so impressed at how wonderful the 4th graders were with our Nursery 2s.
They are such good readers!!!

This week we continued to take care of our teeth.
We brushed our teeth everyday after snack to get off all the germs.
We got new teeth puzzles and we made teeth molds.
We even made elephant toothpaste after looking at different kinds of animal teeth. 
This week and next week we will be talking about healthy foods
for our teeth and maybe even taste a few!







 Auction Surprise!
Mrs. Mueller has been helping our class get our special auction item ready for you.  This week we pained it and it is now ready to be fired in the kiln.  I see a bidding war for this one of a kind item.  No more hints, you will just have to see the finished piece at the auction.

Letter of the week
We are doing so good with our letters.  Thank you moms and dads for getting their bags together each week.  It is one of their favorite things to do at the end of each day.  Our letter next week is "Rr."


 Music
Music with Mrs. Clay is always so much fun.  She gets our bodies moving and our voices singing.  

 Outside play
We were so excited to get outside several times this week. They need to run, jump, and play with their friends.  The fresh air did us all some good.

I want to thank you for making sure that your children we prepared for this week.  Letter bag, tooth brushes, and Valentines.  This week was great thanks to your support!!!!!!

Teeth
The children loved brushing their teeth at school.   We are learn that our we need to keep our healthy and clean and brush the germs away.



Letter of the Week
This past week we worked on the letter "t", which matched up so well with brushing our teeth.  Our letter next week will be the letter "c." 

Music 
This is a group of children who love music. I can't wait to see their musical abilities grow through the years here at HCA.  Will they play an instrument, join the choir, be part of the hand bell, or sing in our yearly play production?

Cooking 
This week we made strawberry smoothies together and they were yummy!  We worked on our first cutting skills with a knife together.  These children are some of the best eaters have ever seen.  They are so willing to try new and healthy foods.



Community time 
 Community is my favorite time at HCA!  I love seeing how the older children care for and love the younger children.  This is not just a school but a family hear at HCA. 
Pajama Day
I was a comfortable Day at school on Thursday.  They looked soooooooo CUTE. They were so excited to see each of their friends arrive at school.

We are learning about our teeth this week and next week.  "My what big teeth you have Ms. Kerno!"
