100th day of school--February 27th
We are all super excited to celebrate our 100th day of school!! 8th grade buddies will be joining us for part of the day and we've got a pretty great crew of parent volunteers, too. The kids will have a number hunt through the hall looking for numbers 1-100, graph 100 snacks, roll a dice 100 times, guess how far 100 steps will take them, and 100's of other math activities. There will be lucky numbers and door prizes and who knows what else?! It's not too late to sign up if you want to join in the fun!
Let me know if you interested in making some sort of cute pinterest-y 100th day take-home treat for the kids!

Our spring planting will be happening soon! However, before then, we'd love to replace some of the raised bed frames. Does anyone have the expertise, time, and desire to take on this project?? We'll provide the materials. Thank you!
Dentist office trip!
THANK YOU to those who chaperoned our trip to the dentist office this morning. The kids learned about healthy food choices for their teeth. They got to brush and floss a huge set of teeth using shaving cream and an over-sized toothbrush. They did dental exams on stuffed animals, played around with magnet boards to discover healthy choices for their teeth, and colored a coloring sheet. Best of all--they got to use the water sprayer and suction tools!! It was really a fabulous trip. Oh, and of course, goody bags were a highlight, too!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Two of the top 5 winners for the "guess how many books are in the library" contest were kindergartners!! Congratulations to Connor and Alessandra! Our library has 17, 620 catalogued books!
VIP: Katie
Katie is the 8th kid in her family--she has 4 sisters and 5 brothers. She was born and baptized on the same day as her cousin "twin" Claire. Her favorite part of Disneyland is the princesses. She was named after St Catherine of Sienna. Her favorite animal is a kangaroo because it hops and starts with the letter K. Her favorite number is anything that has a 6 in it--16, 600, 62.. She likes the letter "a" because it is fun to write. Claire's favorite state is Washington because her school is in it.
