100th Birthday, Valentines, and SNOW!!!

Today was a special day with Valentine's Day and Arizona's 100th birthday but it got even better with the arrival of SNOW!!!  The kiddos think that it was Arizona's birthday gift for turning 100.  Our centers revolved around Arizona.  We had the Mountain Man three-legged race and horse shoes, Anasazi pinch pots, and AZ activities galore!  Thank you so much to our parent volunteers for organizing such a wonderful day for our class.  Here are a few shots from today.  Enjoy!

The kiddos called these Lady Gaga glasses and I have to agree with the resemblance!

What an amazing day!

Hi Parents!




We said goodbye to Michael on Friday . We had a great last day with him but it was definitely hard to say goodbye. We look forward to writing to him and interacting with him on the blog.



Yesterday we got a new student! We want to welcome Nathan Martinez to our classroom. Nathan is from the Oro Valley area and already knows some of our kiddos. We’re happy to have him as part of our classroom family!



Friday is our Project Wet Field Trip! We’ll be learning all about the water cycle and systems at the water festival. We’ll leave PS around 10:15 and return around 2:30. Normal dismissal plans will be in place. Chaperones please meet in the classroom at 10:00. We will be eating lunch a little later than normal so it is a REALLY good idea to send your kiddo with a snack on Friday. We’ll eat snack before we board the busses. All kiddos need to wear their Ronnie’s Rascals shirts. Look for a reminder slip to come home tomorrow.



Arizona’s 100th Birthday/Valentine’s Celebration is on Tuesday. Thank you to Kay Snell and Rebecca Ford for organizing this! We’ll have Arizona inspired centers and celebrate this wonderful birthday. Be sure to ask your kiddos what they know about our great state. At the end of the day we’ll enjoy a birthday cake and exchange valentines. The kiddos are free to make their own box or bag at home or do one here in class on Monday. I know some already have something in mind at home so they’re welcome to bring it in. The class list is on the back of the red sheet that went home a few weeks ago. Please note that the Valentine’s list has changed. Michael is gone and we have another Nathan.



Please check the volunteer calendar on our website for updates and changes. I’ve moved some things around and there are a lot of openings we would love to fill! The newest calendar is online and current so if you want to add or switch your times just let me know!



Thanks for all of your help!

Mrs. Ronnie

Our Fun Day!!

Our whole day was pretty fun exept for the fact that it was Michael's last day.  First we started out by getting our stuff ready and doing the first half of spelling.  After that we went to art, when we got back we finished our spelling test.  Next, we had a guy from Mad Science come in and present about Electricity.  He even gave us little science kits of our own!  Then, we presented our cereal box commercials and went to nature shop.  Next,we went to lunch and then had science.  In science we raced cans using static electricity, and Michael won and became the flag man!!   That was the end of our great day!!  Everyone will miss Michael.
