Valentines Day Party

Good Day Parents,

The students would like to have a Pizza Party on Valentines Day. I have asked all of the students to bring in $2 and I will order the pizza Tuesday Morning to be delivered about 12:45. I thought the party could start at 1:00-2:45pm.

All of the students are invited to make Valentines for 'OUR' class. It is just too much to make them for both classes. With that being said I did tell the students that if they had a few Valentines left over in their pack that they could make one for a friend in the other class.

Maya would like to volunteer her mom (Kate) to make her homemade Fruit Punch. If you do not want to do this we could get juice or soda instead.

The students also would like to have cookies.

After our Pizza we will watch a movie. I will look for a good, clean Valentine's Day movie.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

Rock Star Arjun

Arjun was our ROCK STAR last week! Arjun has had super success in chess. He has played in many tournaments and done very well. He usually plays up in years due to his true gift for the game. Arjun brings wonderful conversation pieces to our classroom. We all have a better understanding of the Indian culture due to Arjun. Arjun is a dedicated student and wonderful positive influence in Angelville.

Rock Star Kealan

I have forgotten a few posts for our very special Rock Stars!

Kealan is an important piece in our 3/4 West puzzle. Kealan is known for his love of sports, especially Football. Kealan is a kind student who cares about the well being of the other students in the classroom. Kealan had a wonderful opportunity in the fall to travel to Italy and Ireland with his family. He cam home with many wonderful stories to share. We are lucky to have Kealan in our class.

GUM WALL-----BIG HIT

Our Tour of the GUM WALL must have been the hot topic of the day! Some chewed to add to the wall, while others wanted to touch the wall, and still others sat back in AWWH at how sick it was. Might not be my taste for ART, but Art none the less.

I think my favorite picture of the day was Maya putting her gum up with her brightly colored rain coat to boot. She could have been part of that wall. FUN TIMES!!!

Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market was a big hit yesterday! I have not been in some time and had a ball. Wish I could have done some kind of walking/eating tour! Great Day! A huge THANKS to all of the parents who came out for such a special day:)

One hit of the day I think was when the Fish Monger was flying squid to the students. He eased my mind knowing he was not going to sell that squid to any patrons. PHEW!!
