Notes from the O ce
The year is off to a great start so far and we are enjoying spending the
winter season with you and your children. This time of year, our students
spend extra time in the Gym participating in our SPARK physical tness
program. This curriculum ensures that children are able to strengthen
gross motor skills no matter the weather. We have a great time jumping,
dancing and playing together!
We also want to extend a heartfelt welcome to our new families and
staff. We hope that you'll enjoy your new home here at Riverstone Education. Our families are
spectacular!
Have a wonderful month full of love, laughs and learning!
Warmly,
Gina and Michelle

Fun Valentine’s Day Themed Activities to
Reinforce Math Skills
Continue the learning at home this month with these hands-on math
activities inspired by Valentine’s Day! Your little one will have a blast
practicing their math skills, thinking critically, and developing problem-
solving strategies.
1. Candy Hearts Addition Game
Provide your child with candy hearts and a simple addition problem written on an index card. Ask them
to read the card and place the correct number of candy hearts in two piles. For example, if the problem
is 3+4, your child should place 3 candy hearts in one pile and 4 candy hearts in another. Encourage
them to count all the hearts to get a total.
2. Sort and Compare Activity
Provide your child with small items in Valentine’s Day colors (i.e., red hearts, pink pom poms, white
buttons). Ask them to sort the objects by color and compare the number of items in each group. Listen
for words such as more than, less than and equal to.
3. Bar Chart of Favorite Gifts
Give your child a piece of paper and crayons. Encourage them to ask family members which
Valentine’s Day gift (i.e., owers, candy or cards) they like the best. Ask your child to record the results
on the bar chart to see which gift is the favorite.
4. Cooking with your kids as always a great way to work on math skills as well.
Happy Birthday to You!

3 No-Bake Recipes to Make with Your
Preschooler this Valentine's Day
Celebrate Valentine's Day with your little one by making some easy,
festive snacks together! Spending time in the kitchen is a great way to
evoke your child's sense and to practice counting, following instructions,
measuring and using sequence words and descriptive language.
Below are three quick snacks that require no baking.
Red Smoothie- Make a delicious, healthy smoothie using a handful of ice, 1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup
strawberries, 1/2 banana and 1 cup of yogurt. Ask your child to wash and measure produce, add
ingredients to the blander, and press the 'on' button.
Valentine Snack Board- Go grocery shopping with your child and ask him to pick a few of his favorite
fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses. Use a small, heart-shaped cookie cutter and create a festive
snack board together. Encourage him to sort the items and count each one as he adds it to the plate.
Chocolate Covered Pretzels- Gather pretzel rods, chocolate bars or candy melts, and assorted red,
white and pink sprinkles. Melt the chocolate according to package directions. Ask your child to dip the
pretzel rods into the melted chocolate and top with sprinkles. Place the pretzels on wax paper and
