Highlights:

Miss. Atwal has been preparing us for Jump Rope for Heart in gym!  We have been practicing skipping forwards, backwards, on one foot and on two… it’s hard work!  There will be an assembly on Thursday to teach us about a fundraiser our school will be involved in.

Throughout the month, students have been working on writing kindness notes to their peers.  Every child created a special bag to contain their treasures and each day one student is picked to receive a bag full of thoughtfully written letters. I wonder… when will it be my turn?

Ethan has a problem, his monster Gabe has gone off on a fishing trip and now he can’t fall asleep!  Mrs. Daniel’s read us this funny book, all while giving us a challenge: “Listen very carefully, because at the end of the story, there will be a test!”  What was the test?  For students to remember all the descriptive clues shared throughout the story about our mysterious friend Gabe, and then draw and describe him.
