Snow!!

We were all so excited when we came to school this morning and it started to snow!  In fact, yesterday we started a new poem called Dance Like Snowflakes in hopes of getting some snow this year.  We learned the poem and then put motions to it to help us remember the words.  I think our snowflake dance worked!  After we sang and danced our poem this morning we decided that we should go outside and observe the real snowflakes!  We watched as they danced down from the sky and landed on our playground.  Here are some pictures that we took.

Snow?

This week has been very chilly!  We have been making predictions in class about whether or not we think that it will snow this winter.  Yesterday we came very close with our ice storm.  When our "weather watcher", classroom meteorologist, checked the weather the trees even looked like they had snow on them!  Needless to say, please make sure that your child is bundled up over these next few days!!  Temperatures are going to be especially low on Thursday morning.  Here is a picture of our morning message from this morning.  Each morning the kids help me add or fix anything in the message.

 

Valentine's Day week!

This week has been filled with a lot of excitement for Valentine's Day, which is coming up this Saturday.  We have been working hard on decorating our bags, writing names on Valentine's at home and then delivering all of our cards!  Not only have we participated in Valentine's traditions but we have learned all about what Valentine's Day is.  Please remember that if you have not already sent in your Valentine's cards, they cannot be sent in with any kind of candy, food, or small treat.  This is a District policy.  I hope that you and your families enjoy this special time of year with one another!
 

Jump Rope for Heart!

We had Jump Rope for Heart today!  It was so much fun cheering on our friends and working our hearts.  We have learned so much this week about the heart and cannot wait to start exercising more to keep our hearts healthy!!
