We were excited to learn all about President's Day. We learned a lot about President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln. We got to make George Washington three cornered hats and tall black hats and beards for President Lincoln. It was fun to get dressed up in our newly made hats.
What an honor to celebrate the fact that we get to go to school everyday and learn about God and show His love in all we do and say all the time. National Lutheran Schools Week was a great celebration of this. We got to do extra fun things everyday of the week.
On Monday we dressed up all crazy - hair, clothes, etc. Then we got to go skating Monday night.
Tuesday we got to wear our pajamas again- yeah!
Wednesday was hat day.
Thursday we got to dress up in cool sports stuff.
Friday we dressed in tropical clothes and got to watch a movie in the gym with the whole school.
It was a great week to celebrate where we get to go to school.
Guess what, we got to wear our pajamas to end the letter "Pp" week. It was so fun, we wore pajamas and slippers. We also had a little picnic of popcorn in our classroom and while we watched a movie. It was so awesome. We loved pajama day and we would like to have that every week!
During dental health month, we got to go on a trip to the dentist office. We watched a video on how to take care of our teeth, we took a tour of the dentist office and we played a healthy or not game. We learned how to brush our teeth and what would happen if we didn't brush our teeth and take good care of them. We also made toothbrush charts to help us remember to brush our teeth at least twice a day. We are going to take good care of our teeth so we have great looking, healthy teeth.
We got to make fire hats to wear when we were learning about fire safety. Fireman have to wear the hats to keep their heads protected. We are very proud of our fireman who help us. Someday some of us want to be fireman too.
Oh fun, we get to get our hands full of paint to make our projects. We finger painted and got our hands all messy. It was exciting to see what happened when we mixed different colors together with our fingers. It was cold and slimy we decided. FUN!!!!Our auction projects turned out cool. After we let the paint dry, we cut shapes out of the paper and made framed art work to sell at the auction. We did a great job!!!
It was our 100th day of school. It was fun to make crowns, do 100 different activities with our 5th grade chapel friends, and count out 100 different snacks to eat. Wow, when is our next 100 day party???
Parents,
Please remember to send winter clothing for your children. They need to have boots, snow pants, hats and gloves along with their winter coat. We go outside everyday for noon recess and it is cold. If they do not have boots and snow pants, they will not be able to play in the snow. Thank You!

It was so fun being the "Old Lady who swallowed a fly and many other animals.
