We started with morning meeting and everyone practiced a team yoga pose. The cooperative tree pose led to several giggles.
We made mystery pictures while coloring in two digit numbers on the number grid. We graphed conversation hearts after sorting by color, and the kids were excited to discover they could read the messages.
Then FARM ABBY came in and we made beet and goat cheese salad. The kids talked about the root of the plant being what we eat. We learned that putting beets in boiling water changes the beet and makes it easy to peel. The stem was cut off, as it is a part of the plant we weren't going to eat. Then we sliced the beets, spread on goat cheese, sprinkled sea salt and drizzled olive oil for a yummy treat. We asked some survey questions about the project and used tally marks to record our answers.
Then we read some wonderful Valentine stories, talked about the nice things we can say to each other, and then started a project of compliments.

After lunch we read a story about a bear couple waking from hibernation for a special Valentine day. The kids loved predicting with each other what would happen in the story. Then it was time to hand out Valentines and enjoy a special time. We thank all the parents who brought in wonderful treats like popcorn with dried fruit, fruit kebobs, cake with homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberries, cookies and apples with caramel. The whole class loved the dry erase boards Mrs. Keach made from recycled DVD containers. Then they all went home with some bubbles reminding them that each of them blow me away in their own special way. It was a lovely day.
