Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you find time to show lots of love! I told each of the kids "Je t'aime!" this morning. Some replied in kind! Others looked away in disgust! HA! Kids are funny. We did a lot of carpet time math. I read a Valentine's story in French. The kids wrote about it. They did some French comprehension and math with a Valentine's theme. They worked on estimating a little bit. Most are pretty adept little estimators and have a bright future in the insurance industry!
The dictée tomorrow is : Je t'aime, J'aime, un coeur, un valentin, Cupidon, amour. We will try and do it before heading out to skate, if it isn't raining!!!!!
It is the 100th day of school tomorrow, which made today the Wayne Gretzky day of school. We are doing 100th day of school activities in the afternoon. How many/much ______ can you do/_____ in 100 seconds? They will make a 100th day hat. There is another craft in one of the other teacher's rooms. It will be a centre-like rotation in the grade 2 classrooms.

Here are a few pics from skating:
