Happy Valentine's Day!

Some people would think that Valentine's Day is a teacher's worst nightmare...well behind Halloween. The kids are on a sugar high just from the word Valentine. Well this morning, I decided to change that! I don't know how many students were thrilled that they did not get a shoe box full of candy first thing in the morning, but they did enjoy their breakfast and did not complain :). See below for the Valentine treat from Miss Gunter.

The students were surprisingly not as crazy as I thought they were going to be. Don't worry...I didn't deprive them of candy. I gave them of candy. They got a goody bag at the end of the day with an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of candy. Ok, ok, so they only got one piece of chocolate, but I still feel like they were not deprived during the day. 

I posted last about our Solar System Unit and our phases of the moon activity. I failed to have the picture of the oreos for the last post, so as promised, here is the oreo phases of the moon. 

The kids LOVED this activity (as expected). But they did have to explain their phase before they ate any of the oreo. 

I wanted to catch you up on the projects I have completed recently. I bought shadow boxes back at Thanksgiving when they were on sale. I have big expectations for my half marathon race numbers and medals. However, with the craziness of my life, I am just now catching up on all of the projects I want to do. 

We have our Winter Break right now. I am hoping to get one or two more projects done. I am very excited about my girl's weekend. I am going to Greenville with my camp friends! For now, good bye and good night.
