Today Emily Von Trapp completed her work teaching children in the class to give each other lavender hand massages. Everyone seemed to greatly enjoy this opportunity.

Valentine's Day is in one week! We will be making large personal envelopes to collect valentines next Tuesday. Today I am sending home a class list. If your child brings valentines, please make sure there is one for each child in the class. Also, please refrain from sending in sugary treats/ candy as part of your child's valentines. My experience has been that consuming vast amounts of sugar is disruptive to the rhythm of our day and interferes with lunch!

Thursday is our 100th day. Several children have already brought in creative collections of 100 things. These can come in any time between now and Thursday.
