Happy 100th Valentine's Day or something like that.

I really thought we'd have a chance to celebrate these two events on separate days this year but Mother Nature had other ideas. Oh well, the more the merrier!

February 14th started out with a surprise at the entrance to the second grade hallway. "Glamma Holm" welcomed students through the big 100. There were some young ins and some 100 year olds.

Once our day was underway, we delivered Valentines then found objects that measured 100 cm and weighed more, less and equal to 100 pennies. It was interesting to discover if 100 inches was more or less than 100 cm.

Mr. Faherty checked in on us old timers.

Whoa! Somebody flipped out!

We represented 100 in many ways. We painted, drew, colored, built, jumped, blinked, wrote, exercised and assembled!

Our Kindergarten Book Buddies joined us in the afternoon to exchange Valentines.

Even our class pet frogs got Valentines!

Everyone showed a lot of HEART today.

I can't wait for the next 80 days!!!

Global Play Day

This was the second year Shaker Lane participated in Global Play Day. I hope it's the beginning of a long tradition! Smiles and imaginations were at an all time high. Our classroom was a buzz with Beyblades, board games, a veterinary hospital, a restaurant, a full service salon and a craft studio!

First we made the food, then we opened the restaurant. Customers were very generous with their tips!

There were a lot of good sports who visited the salon!

Mrs. Hutchins was one of our customers!

The day offered something for everyone. We even had time to play outside. Our art, music and P.E. Teachers gave us free time in their rooms too!

It's amazing to think that children all over the world were engaged in play at the same time as we were!

What a wonderful world.
