February Events

We had some exciting events at school in February.

On Valentine's Day, the 6th graders deliver Valegrams to the kids. Kimee and Audrey were excited to get their suckers, balloons and pencils from mom. They were excited to buy some for their friends with their own money. When we went to pick up Maddi from Cathy's, we told her there was a surprise for her in the car. When she got to the car, she opened the door, saw all the balloons and asked excitedly, "Mom, is it my party?" Very cute!
You can see in the picture, Dave got all of his sweethearts flowers. What a special day.

In February, we had the Patriotic Sing at school. Kimee and Audrey wore their flag shirts. So patriotic and cute!

Kimee has a really good memory, so she has always done very well on her spelling tests. Her teacher encouraged her to study for the 3rd grade spelling bee. She practiced off and on and got 1st place in her class and was able to move on to the grade level bee on Feb. 24 (in the library). (It just so happened to be pajamas day.) She tried to cram in some last minute studying that morning.

 And she ended up winning!! I was so proud of her.

This was one of those moments I was so glad to be teaching at the school my kids attend. Her teacher ran in to me a few minutes before and told me Kimee was in the final round. I got to hear her spell her last couple of words to win. It was awesome!
