Spelling, Music, Buddies, Mural and Extra recess.

We began the day with our regular spelling test.  This was followed at 9:10 with music.  The students are preparing for the upcoming assemblies and choir performances, and working on their recorder skills.  Mrs Awalt is very impressed with this class and their dedication to learning the recorder.  Music skills is a life long gift so I hope that many of them continue their love for music and join band in middle school.

After recess we worked with our buddy class to make our poster for next Wednesday's Mural dedication assembly.  We have been given the mink, one of the characters, in the legend painted on our the mural which we are dedicating.

In the afternoon we read for 12 minutes then handed out all the amazing food and chocolate, and cupcakes, and sweets that the students and their families gave us to share.  At 1:45 we had an extra recess because the school has completed 7200 nights of reading.  It was great getting the extra 15 minutes of time to run off some of the sugar buzz. 

Considering the amount of sugar ingested the students ended the day rather calm.  Well calmish.  Have a great weekend everyone and I wish you all a caring Valentines day with friends and family.

See you all next week... Mr. W

How wound up and evil can candy make students... you decide...
