Green folders came home this weekend. There were no graded papers that came home this weekend but there should have been some pictures and invitation to the mother and son event. Thank you for all of the wonderful Valentine's Day gifts. I loved each and every one of them. During the week, we had some bell ringers and some celebrations. One of our celebrations involved our little hero, Jhobe, who won a wrestling medal last weekend. Jhobe connected the 7 Mindsets during his competition and came out with a win. Carson, our other little superhero, sadly was out sick for a few days with the flu. The awesome thing is he was still in learning mode while he was out and made the connection to what we had learned in social studies with this painting of the river that's named after the Lord Proprietor, Anthony Ashley Cooper. He was able to teach his mom everything we had discussed about Cooper during his doctor's visit. Awesome job guys!!! I was also able to catch some after pictures from the Biscuits and Books event!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!!
