Happy Hearts!

Today students took time out from schedules and lessons and just celebrated this sweet season.

VALENTINE MINUTE-TO-WIN-IT was a success. For the game, there was a plate full of Valentine candy and an empty plate for each contestant. Students used chopsticks to move as many candies to the empty plate as they could in one minute. Whoever had moved the most candies at the end of the minute, advanced to the semifinal round, and then the championship round.

When it comes to Valentine's Day . . . 

students know it is all about the cards [and sweets]!

Enjoy the 3-day weekend. It was a treat to visit with parents during this February week of conferences. If there is ever a concern, please do not hesitate to call or drop in. 

S'more to Learn

Students ended the school year with a S'more party. It was a fun way to celebrate a successful school year. With the whole summer stretching before them, I wanted to remind students that just because it's summer, learning doesn't stop. There is S'more to learn!

Students were asked to reflect on  what they have accomplished in the school year and make plans to continue learning through the summer months. 

Your student crafted a S'more to hang on the fridge as a reminder to weave in math and literacy reinforcers during the summer.

The entertainment for our year-end party was the game, Minute-to-Win-It /S'more Marshmallow Toss.  Players had one minute to throw as many marshmallows as possible to a partner who must catch them in the paper bag campfire. The team with the most marshmallows after one minute wins. 

Congratulations to the 2014 champions, Ashley and Grace. They crushed it!  

And congratulations to Room 100 's fifth graders as they head out the door and begin S'more summer fun. I was so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of children this past year.  They touched my life and this school year in very positive and rewarding ways.  

Have a wonderful summer break!
