Valentine’s Day: The class had great fun during their Valentine’s Party! The children were excited about all the activities they made and played! Thank you so much to Mrs. Bromley, Mrs. Burri, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Sayers, Mrs. Richter, Mrs. Meyers, Mrs. VandePol and Mrs. Zwier, for assisting me with their party help and donations. The children truly enjoyed themselves. 
You can view the photo video from our special party here.
Mystery Reader:
Maria’s mom melted her heart when she entered our classroom – it was so sweet! Her expression was priceless! Ms. Scott shared the book, “What Are You So Grumpy About?” by Tom Lichtenheld. The class thought the book was hilarious and reminded us that we are all grumpy from time to time, but we don’t have to stay grumpy. The illustrations were a lot of fun. Thank you, Ms. Scott, for visiting us as a Mystery Reader this week!
Super Stars for the Week Were: Kailand, Ashlan, and Maria!
All the boys and girls loved each of these very different stories shared by our Super Stars!! “Llama, Llama, Red Pajamas,” by Anna Dewdney, “Frozen,” by Disney, and “Tony’s Bread,” by Tomie dePaola. We love books!!
