Monday, Feb. 8

We have some impressive wacky hair results! How early did some of you wake up?

On Wednesday, we talked about the gifts and talents that God has given us. I first asked the kids to identify the talents and gifts of others they know. They started to share gifts of parents or cousins. Then they began to share gifts of others in the classroom. WOW. Each child identified a gift of someone else. Everyone was praised and identified in the room. Their smiles filled the room. It was a beautiful moment to witness. So thankful for this bunch.

Economics Vocabulary Quiz - A study packet will come home on Wednesday with all the vocabulary words we have been learning during our study of economics.  We will take a matching quiz on those by Thursday or Friday.  I included a set of cards that can be used for a matching game to assist your child with studying at home.

Bible Test - I turned the page in my Bible binder and realized that we are almost ready for a test again!  Stay tuned to your chid's planner, but it might be on Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

Wednesday, February 10 - Wacky Socks Day!

Valentine's Exchange - Please plan to send valentines to school on Friday, February 12.  We will have an exchange in the morning that day.  

Field Trip - Also on Friday the 12th, we plan to head to Hemlock Crossings Nature Center where we will spend the entire afternoon outdoors looking for evidence of animal adaptations in winter.  If the weather cooperates, we will even strap on some snowshoes while we do our exploring.  Please be sure your child has all the proper winter attire for that day (boots, hat, gloves/mittens, snow pants, etc.).  It sounds like it will be COLD out, but with appropriate clothing we will be just fine.
