As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Celebrating Valentines day

Look what we made!!! For Valentines Day we made many wonderful things, including cards for our parents, a 3-d heart, paintings and mailboxes for our special messages to one another. The children used different art mediums and materials to create throughout the week. We talked about how art is an expression and can communicate feelings. Because this week was about love, we tried to show love in our creations.

 

As parents we recognize the different stages on learning and growth. Each of the students above show complete joy and pride in their accomplished work! Some of us can use our words, while others use illustrations and art. Even our little ones seem to understand the love they have for their parents and enjoyed creating a masterpiece to demonstrate this emotion!




 It is an important concept for children to think about others and to take time to ponder their relationships. Students focused this week on their friendships with one another and worked on showing kindness to others throughout each day. Students paid special attention to make sure our friends all received Valentines. Of course delivering Valentines into the special mailboxes was fun, but so was reading the sweet messages from others.


Of course a celebration has to have a special treat! One of our FANTASTIC moms at HO4K made Delicious chocolate covered strawberries for our snack time. The children loved them and we appreciate the time that was put into making our Valentines treat so special and yummy!


 This week was a great week at HO4K. It was a reminder of all the love we have for others including family, friends and teachers. It was a great reflection of the friendships that have been formed among our little learners with one another and with faculty. We hope you found a special way to celebrate this Valentines with those who you love!
