Tristan is blindfolded for a game we called, "valentine, valentine, where's your heart?" 
We played it at Halloween also, except then we said, "skeleton, skeleton, where's your bone?"

IMPORTANT: In the event of snow...

In the event of snow, Sweetwater follows the Fife School District closure schedule. Note: our policy used to be that if Fife was two hours late, we would start on time. I am changing that to closing for the whole day, in that event; seems to be if Fife opens two hours late they end up closing for good anyway; this should help with any confusion.

Annual Chinese New Year's Parade

Miss Suzy designed this collaborative dragon!

Our Chinese New Year's Parade on Jan 31st was a big hit! Our collaborative dragon designed by Mrs. Suzy (on the wall in the Practical Life area), achieves the scaly effect by rolling pins taped with bubble wrap dipped in paint along with a potato masher; check her/him out! Each child made their own dragon, complete with crepe-paper tails and lots of glitter. We put on our Chinese Bamboo Flute music and the children swirled and danced. 

Brrrrr....it's still cold outside!

 

Reminder: cold weather is still here! Please make sure your child has a hat and gloves/mittens that can stay at school.

Valentine's Day Party

Our class Valentine's Day party will be Friday, Feb. 14 at 10:30 a.m. Please look for class lists coming home this week! On party day, please send your child's valentines for their friends in a bag clearly labeled with your child's name. We are making Valentine envelopes to hold all their cards and will help the kids pass them out.

A snack sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board, above the Kinder cubbys. In the past, parents have come up with some great ideas: watermelon cut out with a cookie cutter into heart shapes, yogurt muffins, strawberries, grapes, jello etc. Please no foods containing peanuts or peanut butter (allergies).

We love to have parent helpers for parties. Grandparents and siblings are welcome also.
