Valentine's Day & Hip Hop

We hope that everyone had a lovely family day and that they enjoyed the long weekend :)

We had such a great week.  Since Valentine's Day Friday we were missing many students, we decided to continue our Valentine's Day crafts on Tuesday so that everyone could make some beautiful pieces of art :)

D.R (JK) and E.S making tissue paper heart window ornaments

T.C making her window ornament 

S.O making a coffee filter heart

We also continued our Hip Hop this week and learned some really neat Hip Hop moves.  Since Friday February 21st was a Snow Day we did not have the Hip Hop showcase.  It was been postponed to Friday February 28th. 

Here is what we got up to this week .... 

A few friends really enjoyed painting pictures and then writing stories to go along with the picture that they painted! 

R.D wrote a story about a Cat in Paris

A.T wrote a story about a turtle who didn't know how to get home.
