February News in 2/6
February 2011 Heath Extended Day 2-6 Newsletter Wish Days Granted in January…During the month of January, we granted many special days that were wished for by the kids. Wishes we fulfilled during January were: Edible Art day, Candy day, Soccer day, Movie day and Pizza day. Edible Art day was a huge hit! The kids made “sushi” out of angle food cake, twinkies, fruit roll ups, Swedish fish and gum drops! The kids did a fantastic job using these foods to create realistic looking pieces of sushi. Also, during Edible Art day, the kids made creative towers using marshmallows and toothpicks. During candy day, the kids participated in a game of candy trivia. They learned fun facts about candy and even learned about some candy slogans. In addition to learning about candy, the children crushed pieces of hard candy, created their own candy mold out of tin foil and melted the crushed pieces in the oven to create homemade lollipops in the shape of their mold. They also learned out to make “gummy bears” using gelatin. During soccer day, the kids got to spend a great amount of time playing Soccer in the gym. With all the snow, they haven’t been able to play the sport that we most often see them playing on the field during the spring and fall! For those who did not participate, we gave them an opportunity to sew soccer ball pillows! Finally, the kids enjoyed movie day and pizza day. On movie day the kids relaxed in the library and watched, Cheaper by the Dozen and they enjoyed the a special pizza party day. We have so many more wishes to fulfill in February! Please look for notices regarding upcoming Wacky Hair and Electronics Days! Winter Reminder and information We will continue to bring the kids outside to play during the winter. Your child MUST have a hat, gloves, and winter jacket. To play in the snow, kids must also have snow boots and snow pants. On days where when we are able, we will take the kids sledding on the back playground. Your child must have a helmet to go sledding. Please feel free to store sleds and helmets in the upstairs extended day room during the school week. Please label your child’s belongings! There are still spots for ice skating at the Riley Rink in Cleveland Circle. Please see a 2-6 teacher if you would like to sign up your child. We go weekly on Wednesdays and will continue to do so through March 9th. The kids who have already signed up are having a blast! OH Baby! We are happy to announce that Caitlyn had her baby girl, Sofia, on Monday, January 24th. Mom and baby are doing great! The kids each created a page with thoughtful messages and beautiful pictures congratulating Caitlyn and welcoming Sofia! We binded the pages to create a special book from the 2-6 children! WISHLIST We are seeking 8 new Motrola Walkie Talkies to keep our lines of communication open. We hope to get ones that are rugged and take rechargeable batteries. Your help is appreciated! http://www.motorola.com/Business/XN-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/Consumer+Two-Way+Radios/T8+Walkie+Talkie+Radio_XF-EN
