Presidents Day

Happy Presidents' Day! See you Tuesday!

Happy Valentines Day!

Wow, what a gorgeous day it is today...unlike last Monday when the kiddos were snowshoeing!

Thank you so much for sending in Valentines Day goodies! Today we decorated Valentine bags, graphed candy hearts, made inferences using a wordless book called The Secret of Love, played Valentine Bingo and had an awesome Valentine party! Everyone had so much fun passing out Valentines and having such yummy snacks! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Remember that Wednesday is early release at 12:30 and that there is no school next Monday for President's Day!

I hope you all have a wonderful evening feeling the love of your families and friends. I felt SO loved all day just because of your kids! They were so happy to give me gifts and Valentines, and most of all, a lot of hugs!!!! They are so sweet and awesome!

I will be out three days this week!

Ahh I have so many pictures to share with you but they are on my school computer and I am at home! I will try to get those posted next week so you can see your kids being amazing as usual. In the meantime, check out this picture of our first walking field trip to the ponds last September! Doesn't it make you long for green grass and sunshine?! Also I can't believe as I was looking through these pictures how much the kiddos have grown...and how many teeth they've lost!

Snowshoeing on Monday was very fun for all of the kids! Thank you so much to our steadfast volunteers who stood outside in the VERY heavy snow and wind on Monday and fastened buckle after buckle on the snowshoes for child after child. Many of the kids had never been on snowshoes before, and they came in tired, soaking, and hungry but very happy!!!

This week I will be gone for the rest of the week. Originally, I did have one sub who was planning to come in all three days, but he had a family emergency and will not be able to come. So every day will be a bit of a challenge since there will be a different guest teacher every day, but all of them are great!

Thank you for the couple of families who sent in snacks! We go through snacks quickly, though, so if anyone else can donate, it would be greatly appreciated!

Have a great week and weekend, and I will see you on Monday!
