I squeezed in a handwriting assignment after their math tests. Two kids who go to 6th grade for math were not happy that they had to do a math assignment AND a handwriting page. One kid used a homework pass on it. Works for me!
Lots of kids requested ice packs today... I forgot to mention yesterday that in addition to all the fuss, two girls smashed heads together at recess and one got a bad bloody nose. It dripped all over her pants and shoes, so she had to wear her basketball shorts until her mom could zip home over lunch to get a replacement pair. Today, she got an ice pack a few times. Another girl has a possible wrist fracture from basketball. Another girl fell on some rocks at recess and has a sore rear end. Thank goodness it's Friday.
Plans are in the works for the Valentine's party next week. A mom is brainstorming over the weekend and she will connect with us on Monday about her ideas. Another mom volunteered to find me help to decorate the classroom door for Mt. Olive Week. The theme is "We Love Our School!" I found some ideas online and the class voted between four. We settled on making a tree with all sorts of leaves in lots of colors. The leaves can have people's names written on them, blessings, things we like about Mt. Olive, etc. Helpers are going to put the backdrop and the tree trunk up and we'll take care of the leaves and words. Nice.
Another nice thing... one of the girls brought me a donut as a thank you for yesterday. Valentine pink with lots of sprinkles. So sweet literally and figuratively. 😊
