Yesterday we had a Valentine’s party with cookies from Travis and Lukas, and parents came.  Lukas brought little, little cookies that didn’t have frosting or anything on them.  They were shaped like butterflies and hearts.  Travis’s were circles with sprinkles on them.  We passed out Valentine cards and candy.  It was Mrs. Brown’s birthday.  We sat at our tables and started eating.  We had lots of fun eating and reading our cards.  Jamie brought candy.  We got tattoos and airplanes from Savannah.  Donna brought little zigzag heart candy and chocolate candy bars like Butterfingers.  She brought stickers, too.  Taylor M. brought little bags of candy.  Jesse brought cupcakes that were chocolate or vanilla.  They had white frosting with sprinkles.  Justyn brought in pencils and erasers for everyone.  The erasers were shaped like Cupid and hearts. The party was fantastic.  Everyone was very happy that they made valentines for each other and did their best work.

Tuesday was the 100th day of school, and we made and wore “100” glasses to kind of look funny.  And we shared a bunch of 100 Day stuff.  Taylor T. brought different colored candy hearts.  Abby brought 100 Starburst.  Abby and Justyn counted.  First they thought there were 102, but when Mckayla double-checked she found that one of the piles only had 8, so they put the extra 2 in that pile and then there were 100.  Donna brought 100 pennies.  Savannah brought 100 Skittles, and the Skittles were shaped like circles; some were green, some were yellow, others were red or purple.  Taylor M. brought 100 rocks.  Jordan L. brought 100 straws.  They were yellow, red, green, and blue with white stripes.  Kevin brought 100 pieces of paper.  He got them from his friend’s mom and counted them before he came to school to make sure there were 100.  Then he shared them with the class.  Rien brought 100 plain pencils.    They were orangish-yellowish with pink erasers.  Lukas brought 100 stickers and they kind of look like tattoos.  Everyone started using Lukas’s stickers and Jordan L.’s straws and Abby’s Starburst and Rien’s pencils to decorate on the paper from Kevin.  Cameron brought 100 robin eggs.  They were candies from Safeway.  They were purple, blue, yellow and green.  First when you get one you have to let it kind of soak in your mouth, and then you chew it, and then you swallow it.  Jamie brought 100 pieces of candy.  It was really nice that so many people shared what they brought with each other.
