Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We are going to vote on how to celebrate 100 Cougar Tickets. (Abby) The kids picked another “bring a toy to school” party! We will celebrate this next Friday the 22nd! More details to come.

The leprechaun came! He wrecked all our traps! (Rylan)

At math today we did a game with a cup. We had to put counters in the cup and leave some out. The other person had to guess what number is in the cup. They had to close their eyes and count to 10. (Caroline)

Today the leprechaun made messes! He wrote on the tables. He was in some paint and made footprints. He even made the toilet water green! (James)

Today was Will McCurry’s birthday. We had his birthday snack. We also did a taste test. (Evalynn)

We did whiteboards. We did a sentence. Mrs. Hotchkiss made mistakes and we had to write it the right way. (Maya)

We had P.E. We played a game where we had to dribble a basketball. We had to try and shoot it into the goal. (Aster)

We watched a little video about St. Patrick’s Day! (Azayla)

We had Fundations. We made words on our magnet boards. We pointed to each one and tapped it. It was so much fun! Mrs. Hotchkiss told a story about Baby Echo and big Echo. (Kent and Adalynn)

We did poem. (Parker)

We did writing. For writing today we wrote about we can catch a leprechaun. (Hayden)

We did read aloud. The book was about how to catch a leprechaun. (Abby)
