Emily Post would approve!
Thought that title would get your attention! We started off our week with a lovely Valentine's Day luncheon. Notice the table place setting diagram in the background. We had a manners course before we ate. The children had impeccable manners during lunch and wonderfully appropriate lunch conversation.

Are you ready for some football? I mean civics.
Did you see the opening commercial to the Super Bowl last night? Some of the NFL's greatest read the Declaration of Independence. My vote is for that to be read every night on television. It will bring a tear to your eye and make you proud to be an American!

Way to go girls!
I am proud of two of my students today for competing with our school's Mini Mu team this weekend. They are smart chickies and they are going to go real far in life. Thank you to Mrs. Berry for being our Mini Mu sponsor and fostering the love of math and making it cool to be smart!

Around here
Last week our class opted for a little change of pace. We all participated in a novel study on the 1977 classic, Bridge to Terabithia. A sad, but great tale about friendship. We read, learned new vocabulary words, disucssed, reflected, and more.
Students made friendship trees. All the leaves had adjectives used to describe friendship.
They also designed secret places.
In science, teams were given a bag of items and had 40 minutes to construct a bridge.
We raised almost $100 for the children of Tree House.
We are beaming with pride because Hannah came in second in the district wide Tropicana Speech Contest.
Oh and our class mascot, Mack, added squash to his favorite foods this weekend! He doesn't look so happy here, but trust me he was THRILLED to try something new.
