Excitement was high on Friday as everyone gathered in a circle to exchange Valentines. 24 of our class of 25 brought Valentines to share. I do not think there were any two alike; from hand made to store bought with Power Rangers or Princesses and pop culture stars that are unknown to me, all the cards were appreciated. The little girl closest to me very dramatically said, “You know Mrs.Goethe, I had to write my name on these every night to get them all done!” which made me smile because that repetitive practice is so good for her handwriting skills and I am glad that her mom spread it out over 3 or 4 evenings.
Did you like the narcissus flower your child brought home on Thursday? They should be in bloom by now and filling the air with their sweet scent. We have Jay Potratz, a Sanislo parent, to thank for taking the lead on this planting project.
Hopefully you have checked your child’s backpack for homework to be done over the break. It includes a word list, some math activities to do together and a reading calendar. Don’t forget to send your child’s 100 collection to school on Monday the 22nd if you have not done so already!
