Happy (almost) Valentine's Day!

Dear Parents,

The Kissing Hand has lent itself to be a wonderful book to talk about Valentine's Day.  Students love to kiss the palm of their hand and hold it to their cheek.  Also our Georgie Porgie Nursery Rhyme has become a wonderful part of our routine.  We have also spent a lot of time doing Skinny Marinky Dinky Dink and singing Little Wheel. Students have been very excited as we talk about and point out hearts.
 

1st ever International Night at RNE.

WHEN: February 22nd from 6:00-8:00pm

WHERE: RNE Cafeteria

 

International Night is a multi-cultural event that gives our children and families the opportunity to explore different countries and cultures from around the world. Parent volunteers from over 20 countries have offered to represent their heritage and give a glimpse into the traditions of their home country. You will enjoy a colorful Parade of Nations by our students, tasty food samples, cultural performances by RNE Orff Club, Mariachi Pepe Lopez from Mexico, Conjunto Típico from Panama, Irish Step Dance and more. Attendees will be given a passport and the opportunity to travel receiving stamps for each country. The students that show passports to their teachers will get school store tickets.

 

EVERYONE IS WELCOMED!!

CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.
