New pictures tab

I just added a new tab for pictures since the other tab was getting too full.  From now on, all new pictures will be added to that tab.  Add lots of Valentine's Day projects and pictures, more to come!  Also "RACK" and Winter Olympics.

Updates coming today and tomorrow!

I am in the process of updating the blog today and Monday.  I haven't posted much this week, been very busy with the Valentine's Day Party and checklist testing.  

I will add pictures to our "RACK" project tab from Thursday.  The three day class completed some random acts of kindness and passed out thank you cards and cookies to all of the staff members at Thomas Edison.  The kids had so much fun and the staff were very surprised!  Lots of hugs!  We are doing it again with the two day class on Wednesday before their Valentine's Day Party.  We are continuing our "RACK" project by reading the book, "Have You Filled Your Bucket Today?"  It's a book that teaches kindness and filling your "bucket" and your friend's "bucket" with kind words and actions.  Look for more information soon!

There will also be updates about the Valentine's Day party and projects we completed this week.

More updates coming about our Winter Olympic theme too!  (I am typing this as I watch the USA vs. Slovenia hockey game!)  :)  The students watched a little bit of hockey, curling, and snowboarding this week.  It was so cute!  While the kids were watching snowboarding on the computer, they pulled the cube chairs in front of the computer and were "sitting in the bleachers" watching the competition! :D  Also, they were VERY interested in curling and asked lots of questions!  :)  This week is the last week of the Olympics with the Closing Ceremony next Sunday night. We are celebrating and having "S is for Sports" week.  Have your child bring a picture of any sport to feed Letter Muncher.  We are making red, white, and blue projects, reading books about the Olympics, counting the medals the USA earns, watching more of the Olympics, and completing learning activities with an Olympic Theme. Friday will be "Go USA!" Day!  Have your child wear red, white, and blue to show their pride!

There is no school tomorrow.  Monday, February 17th, 2014.

Happy President's Day!
