What a wonderful celebration we had on Friday! The photos below show the high spirits that flew down the sledding hill. (My apologies if I didn't get a photo of your child - I'm still working on my camera skills!) Although it doesn't look like much snow, there was enough to send the students soaring down the hill. Students shared sleds and laughter as they enjoyed the slopes.
Inside we warmed up with muffins, bagels, cinnamon rolls, fruit and donuts. Students also got to design their own smoothies. Groups of students created their own recipes using frozen fruit combined with juice and soy milk. It was a very fun time!
This was a great way to celebrate the seconds that the students have saved up (621 to be exact!) by giving me the listening look in less than 10 seconds. For example, if they are quiet in 8 seconds they can save two seconds. These seconds have added up over the months and equaled enough for a celebration. I think that with all the fun we had on Friday, we may be saving up seconds even faster!
Many thanks to all of you who made this day possible by contributing food and sleds!
