February Fun!

February has been a very busy month in first grade!  I apologize for not getting these pictures up sooner!  

At the beginning of February, we celebrated being 100 days smarter!  It was a fun day to be in first grade.  Time sure flies, it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating our first day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day on February 13th.  We had our party in the morning so I could go to my daughters Valentine's Day party at her school.  Thank you to all the parents who helped out with our party by donating their time or snacks!

On President's Day we had Tropical Island Day.  We went to the ICF property and celebrated with a first grade luau.  The kids did the limbo, hula hooped, colored pictures and Mrs. Smallwoood even did volcanoes with them.  I was in charge of the beach ball station.  We had so much fun dancing and trying to keep the beach balls in the air!  It was fun to pretend we were some place warm for the day!

Today the Baer Mirza's came to talk to the kids about Dental Hygiene and how to take good care of their teeth.  The kids each got a free toothbrush!

Tropical Island Day

The kids have been working so hard since we came back from break.  It is very tough to get back into the swing of things when so many days are called off due to weather.  As a school, we decided to take a break from the drag winter weather and celebrate warmth with Tropical Island Day.  We did all things tropical today and the kids had a blast! 
 
Here are a few pictures from our adventure today!  Now hopefully warmer, nicer weather follows suit and we can stop pretending!
 
 

 

 


 
 Some tropical things we did today included making paper leis, a tropical addition hunt in the cafeteria,  hula hooping, drinking Hawaiian Punch and eating popsicles, and watching Lilo and Stitch!
