Happy Presidents' Day, Happy Start of the Olympics, Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Sunny Days!!

Well, what a busy weekend and start of a new week!? With all of the excitement going on around the world, I wanted to make sure to thank all my 5B Babycakes and their families for making the special effort to be at their conferences last Thursday. 5B students did WONDERFUL with their student-led conference. I think most parents felt that way as well! Only 3 students need to complete their conferences. Then we'll ALL be done and have survived!

Later on today or tonight, there should be a new slideshow of pictures to view. Make sure to check it out since there are some fun photos of our 5th Grade Box Social!! What a blast!!

This week looks to be COMPLETELY normal....wait, what does normal mean again?? I don't think we've had a "normal" or "regular" week since BEFORE Christmas vacation!!! Isn't that crazy??!! So, I'm excited to have a full week of classes to get back into the swing of things.

However, next week, there are 2 special activites. On Wednesday, February 24, there is a 3-hour early out and on Friday, February 26, 3rd-5th graders go to UNI to the Gallagher Bluedorn Theater for a play about science! I have always enjoyed these plays. Should be lots of fun. And don't forget we get to take chartered busses for a relaxing ride!!

Have a great rest of your weekend. Burn off all of that sugar from your Valentine's treats, and we'll see ya'll tomorrow! If you checked the blog today or tonight sometime, put a post-it note with your name on it on my desk right away in the morning. I'm doing a little experiment to see who is checking the blog regularly!! Thanks!
