Valentines, Presidents, and a zoo trip.

The kindergartners have had a great February! They had a wonderful time getting ready for Valentine's Day. They made cards and crafts and a container for their valentines. They colored pictures, decorated hearts, and loved every minute of the count down to "The Big Day."

Valentine's Day finally came and with it the party. Everyone had a fun time passing out their valentines and eating the snacks and treats that were brought in to share.

The students also learned about two of our presidents: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. I taught them about each president, giving the important highlights and facts. After 2 days of learning about these two great men and all they had done for our country, on the third day I asked the kids to tell me something they had learned about the two men pictured. The response? "They died."

Our second field trip is coming up quickly. On March 1st we will be going to the Phoenix Zoo. Most students have their permission slips in and $6.00 paid. We have a countdown on the board so all the students can see how many days till the zoo trip. I had hoped it would stop the "How many more days?" questions but it just created more interest. Oh well, I have to admit......I'm excited to go too.
