Action Packed Week

The last week in January was full of FUN! We celebrated January & July birthdays and the 100th day of school, jailed some teachers, welcomed a new mindset, and checked in on a groundhog! Each day passed quickly and by the end of the week, I was exhausted 😊!

The picture in the corner shows all of our birthdays from January and July! Each student received a card and doughnut from student council!

It's hard to believe, but Wednesday was our 100th day of school. Teachers came up with fun ways to incorporate the number 100 into their learning. The learning activities were creative and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves! 3rd graders waited an extra day, and then they celebrated their 100th day with eating 100 pancakes. Parent volunteers came in to help cook and the kids ate till they were about ready to pop!

Thursday we introduced our new mindset of "Live to Give" student council will once again do the Penny war, which will take place in a couple of weeks. This year we are going to use the money raised, to create gift baskets for local businesses. This will be a fun project to celebrate all the giving that our community does for the school.

The PTO "Jail the Teacher" fundraiser kept me busy this week. I took eleven teachers to jail and while the teachers spent their time in the slammer. I covered their classes for thirty minutes. We did fun things like an extra recess, dodgeball, duck duck goose, and explored the discovery room!! It was a lot of fun for me to have a chance to connect with students! I'm thankful for the money that PTO raised and this was a small gesture to show my appreciation for all the work that went into the project. We will wrap things up tomorrow with the pie in the eye, which will take place at 2:00 in the armory.
