Valentines Day Fun

It was an exciting and busy week in 1st grade! On Tuesday, we were overjoyed to get to take a quick break from our learning and go outside to play in the beautiful snow! We even kept the blinds open all day to keep an eye on the snow. I just loved hearing, "Mrs. Nolan, it's snowing outside!" all day.

This week our first grade was hosting a cereal drive for the whole school. We encouraged every student to bring in at least one box of cereal for children in need. Our goal was 600 boxes. On Tuesday, our class was in charge of counting the cereal boxes brought in that day. We had lots of fun grouping the boxes into groups of ten and then counting them all up. The kids were sooo happy to hear at the end of the week that we had collected 684 boxes!

Lastly, it wouldn't be Valentines week without fun crafts, Valentine exchanges, and Valentine books.

I also was treated to a late birthday celebration from my class, and man did the make me feel special! They brought me flowers, gift cards, coffee, and lunch. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! :)

Now for a girls weekend at the beach to enjoy some relaxation and sun!
