Happy Groundhog Day! (Yesterday!)

Yesterday, we talked about groundhogs and discussed the burrows they hibernate in. We created our own burrows and wrote about them. One student added a disco ball to his burrow! We had elevators, hot tubs, and food courts in many burrows! One burrow even  had a security system!

Monday is 100th day. I look forward to it each year. We are going to make pictures of what we will all look like when we are 100. Eating 100 pieces of cereal together will be great fun and I have many other fun surprise activities! I sent home a letter today telling students to bring 100 pieces of their favorite cereal, 100 items of their choice, and dress like they will look when they are 100! Suggestions are provided in the letter. I may add a little baby powder to my hair to make it look gray.  This should be a really fun day!

Don't forget about sending in money for the American Cancer Society "Daffodil Days." What an amazing organization and event!

 I need to get my lesson plans finished and get home! Have a wonderful weekend!
