HEARTS AND LOVE

Friends were busy decorating and making hearts, and cards.

The invention center was busy with friends making lightsabers and swords.  Do we play StarWars, or Kings, or both?

 Further discussion was needed over who should be King and wear the crown? Who should sit on the throne?  How many Kings can you have?  Are they all in charge of one Kingdom, or lots of Kingdoms.

Many battles were fought.  Win or lose they had a lot of fun.

In big blocks friends built a castle with a bridge protected by a crocodile, played enthusiastically by Lucy.

At the end of the morning we read the story of a little mouse who tries to stand on different objects to reach his love.

After reading the book we talked about Love

THURSDAY - VALENTINES CELEBRATION

Counting marshmallows was the first step to making our rice krispie treats.  

Every year we make a large valentine heart and vote on who we should give it to.  This year the class unanimously voted to send it to Ms. Castillo.  

                   Livio's mom and dad, Elizabeth and Piercarlo joined us for Livio's 5th birthday celebration.

While eating our popsicle treats Elizabeth read 

Too cold to go out so after P.E.  we returned to work choices and ended our morning with a Gunny wolf story from Mr. Andrews.

QUESTIONS
