Class activities for Monday, February 14
Our Feb Factor Valentine’s party was so good, it was scary, literally! We sang some love songs (brotherly love songs!), passed out our cards and ate sloppy joes, chips, fruit and veggies.
Feb Factor games included sticking conversation hearts, slurping gummy hearts, munching fruit roll-ups and frosted shredded wheat, passing notes and cards, tossing bouncy balls and chowing cranberry jelly. Stay tuned for pictures!
Thanks to everyone who donated food and supplies; we had more than enough! A big thanks to all the family members that helped with serving food, cleanup and games!
