Febrrrrrrrrrrrrrrruary!

AND NOT A SNOWMAN TO BE FOUND! WE HAVE HAD SOME WACKY WEATHER THIS WINTER AND I AM READY FOR EITHER SOME REAL SNOW OR SPRING!

I have been showered with love and appreciation during the past two weeks! Thank you so much for all the sweet Valentine's Day chocolates and cards. Then you all made me feel super special during Teacher Appreciation Week. First, the county gave us two days off to celebrate :) then the kids came in with such beautiful flowers, delicious snacks, and special treats! Most heart-warming were the kind words from parents and the notes and cards written by your children. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.  All the teachers enjoyed the Mardi Gras themed luncheon --- a very special thank you goes to Mrs, Brown, our room mother, who took care of the decorations and paper goods with your donations. 

ADDISON MATH NIGHT AT PUBLIX is this Thursday from 5:00 until 7:00. I will be there from 5:30 until 6:00 but you can come anytime to have fun with Math! You will sign in at the table that will be set up in the lobby, pick up your scavenger hunt, and return the completed sheet to the table for a special surprise! I hope you all will come!

WE HAD A GREAT WEEK AND ARE JUST OVER THE MOON ABOUT ALL WE DID AND LEARNED!

 OUR SPACE DAY ROTATION TO EACH FOURTH GRADE TEACHER AND TO THE SCIENCE LAB WAS AWESOME! THE STAR LAB WAS A COUPLE OF DAYS LATE ARRIVING AT ADDISON SO WE HAD TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS BUT IT WORKED OUT SO THAT WE WERE ABLE TO ENJOY AN EXTRA VISIT TO THE SCIENCE LAB. WE ARE FORTUNATE IN COBB COUNTY TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE TRAVELING PLANETARIUM. IT TRULY ENHANCES OUR CURRICULUM. AS ALWAYS, WE WERE THANKFUL THAT OUR VOLUNTEERS WERE FLEXIBLE AND GAVE THEIR TIME SO GENEROUSLY. MRS. BROWN, MRS. HERNANDEZ, AND MRS. MCDONALD WERE THERE FOR US!

ON THURSDAY, WE LEARNED A WHOLE LOT ABOUT BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR IN OUR JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT LESSONS WITH MRS. COONEY. SHE PRESENTED  A VARIETY OF ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO TEACH US ABOUT EXPENSES AND REVENUE, PROFIT AND LOSSES,  NATURAL, CAPITAL, AND HUMAN RESOURCES, AND THE TRAITS IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN BUSINESS. A BIG THANK YOU GOES TO MRS. COONEY FOR SPENDING THE ENTIRE DAY WITH US!
