Happy Valentines!

We are getting excited for the big Valentine Party! A big thank-you to all of you for your help and support. On Monday we are making our "Froggy" Bags. We will be addressing and delivering our valentines to our classmates first thing Tuesday morning. We have been busy this week writing notes to Mrs. Mootz, Mrs. Carter and Shane. We have been talking about expressing appreciation and friendship to others in conjunction with Valentines. We know they will be surprised when we bring them their favorite drink and some special cards! (It's a secret!)
