A Lovebugly Week!

This week, we celebrated many things including 100th Day, Abraham Lincoln's Birthday, and Valentine's Day! On 100th Day, we did 100 exercises and wore 100th Day stickers. We are reading a new chapter book as a class, Frindle by Drew Clements. It is a story about a boy who makes up a new word for pen, frindle. His word spreads throughout his school and town. We can't wait to find out how it ends!
On Friday, we met with our Fourth Grade Buddies. With them, we made love bug headbands and animals out of hearts.
Love Bugs!



Triplet Love Bugs!


The Second and Third Graders took some time this week decorating their Valentine's bags. They went crazy with paper hearts, tissue paper hearts, doilies, and stickers galore! Look how adorable their bags turned out!






And the lovely bags were filled with....
lots of thoughtful, heartfelt Valentines!
On Friday, we celebrated our Valentine's Day Party! Our party was complete with a fondue station, a heart picture frame craft, a famous couples matching game, and time to write sweet notes on hearts for our classmates!
A huge thank you to our party volunteers.
We couldn't have had such a wonderful party without your help!










Friday was also Abraham Lincoln's Birthday. A few girls worked hard on this great banner in honor of him!

Ava asked the class her survey question this week. She wanted to know which High School Musical character her classmates like best. See the results to find out who the favorite HSM character is!
Luke planned a field trip to Antarctica! His made this cool diorama with clay!
Matt was the Star of the Week. For his survey question, he asked which one everyone liked best: watching T.V. or playing video games. See below for the results!

We read Frindle in our classroom last month, and then this month we saw Frindle the play.

It was interesting to see how the novel was turned into a play.

Your Valentine Week seems like it was great fun!
