Happy Friday everyone! Today was filled with fun and preparation for our special day on Monday! We started our day finishing our presents for dad and then we played with play-dough!

After morning free play, we started rehearsal for Dad’s Day! We practiced many times until it was time for our circle time. We started circle time asking our petals friends to do their jobs. 

P : It’s February. Winter!

We played a fun game where we had the balloons at one side of the classroom and we used the stretchy sticky hands to catch the balloons! M’s mom and dad gave each of us a popper bracelet to take home! Thank you!

After the party, we did M’s International Month presentation. They told us they were from California and moved to Japan when M was one year old! 

Finally, we finished today off with rehearsal and ate our yummy lunches. 

Thank you all for another great week!  Have a wonderful weekend and we hope to see you(Dads) on Monday!
