The kids created their Valentines bags today using an apple stamp (an apple cut in half) to decorate their bags with  heart shapes.  They  mixed red and white to make different tints of pink as they worked.

We also  experimented with sand and various types of funnels.  They found using the funnel as a tool was helpful in easily filling a bottle with sand.  The bottles were topped with squeeze top caps so the kids could pour the sand out of the bottle and watch the funnel working the opposite way.  This allowed them to make interesting sand designs on their trays.

At morning snack everyone who did not get to taste our fresh baked bread on Friday got a taste of the second loaf today.

At small group we did a mindfulness exercise using our hand.  We traced our five fingers taking a breath in as we traced up and a breath out as we moved down.  We talked about how our bodies felt calm and quiet at the end. 

FAB: Identify important elements of the text (e.g characters, settings, or events).
