there's never a wish better than this

Snow delayed a whole lot of parties in February....100 Days, Ground Hog, the boys' first AR party, but their ambitious teachers were able to squeeze most of it in today...including Valentine's Day

Jack's sweet teacher arranged this pretty amazing 100th Day Safari - the kids had 7 stations where they learned about the given animal, counted something related to it and practiced writing the number and tallying the items counted.....the total added up to .... you guessed it - 100! It was a really creative and fun activity for them. Above you see the Safari-ites getting all decked out (Jack's in the back, 2nd from the left) and learning about their journals.

He was right, just a little zealous and wrote "7" twice ;-)

Summit, of the tomorrow birthday party, is a sweet friend in Jack's class. Each person in the class makes a wish for whoever is having a birthday, then their teacher staples the drawings and wishes together as a book for the birthday child. I hadn't seen one before, and it was really cute to see what sorts of things his friends wished for Summit...mostly puppy dreams, tho his dad was there and said it wasn't happening ;-)

Thank you, Ms. J, for letting me tag along on Safari today and see the great group of kids that is lucky to have you for a teacher. I may have mentioned that you are sweet and creative, but these kids really know their stuff and do you proud! Happy Valentine's Day :-)
