Valentine's Day

We had an awesome Valentine's Day! We were able to do so many fun things, like "We decorated cupcakes," said Taryn. "We made hats that were called crowns, because we were either the King of Hearts or the Queen of Hearts." We went on a parade. We put on our crowns, we went through the front office and spread the love by blowing kisses at everyone. "We made Valentine Cards," said Brandon. "We even made Valentine puzzles," said Ethan. "We made beaded necklaces with Valentine colored beads," said Kiera. "We made a sign language I Love You heart," said Fiona. We all agree that it was a fun day. We do not agree on our favorite part of the day. Noah and Shane said, "We passed out candy and valentines and put them in the boxes." Kylie says her favorite part was, "We ate cupcakes." "We drank ice cream floats with a cherry on top," says Dominic. We were able to choose between strawberry and Root Beer for our floats. Nina said, "We ate jello and rice crispy treats." "We had some special guests, some moms came to the party," Kaya pointed out. It was a heart filled day.
The love was felt by all.

Me and My Shadow

The students spent a day learning about Shadows. We also learned about the position of the sun in the sky and how it affects how we see our shadow. The students went outside first thing in the morning. Mrs. Smith's fourth grade class helped by tracing each of the children's shadows on to the sidewalk, and writing the name of the student on the outline of their shadow so the child could find theirs again later in the day. The children then came back to the room and documented their observations about their shadows and their observations about the sun. After lunch we went back outside and the children stood in the same spot. They made new observations and documented them in their Science Journals. We repeated the process at the end of the day. Ask your child what they learned and please leave their response as a comment. We would love to hear what they learned that day. Looking forward to hearing from you.
