Still more pix...

Then with the valentines that were left we decorated the walls of the dinning hall for the big party they were having that weekend! It was tons of fun!

Valentine pix again...

Okay, so let's try that again... First we handed out valentines to the residents while they were eating lunch. These are a few of those shots.

Valentine Delivery Pics!

Finally! Pictures from our trip to Fellowship Square where we handed out valentines! It was a blast! I had so many residents thanking us, and the kids were just as excited! Every time a new person would walk in the dining room there were six kindergartners on them ready to hand out a valentine! Several kids thought it was funny that the "grandmas and grandpas" kept telling them they were cute, and one girl started making plans about what she wanted to make next to deliver to the residents! I think this trip made an impression on everyone involved! Enjoy the pictures and look forward to more events involving this retirement community. Thanks again to all of the parents who helped out with the trip on such short notice!

An Improptu Field Trip...

This Friday, Feb. 12, we have the opportunity to deliver the Valentines all of the kinder and 1st grade classes have been making to the residents of Fellowship Square. Fellowship Square is a retirement community located near Broadway and Sarnoff. I have been trying to help the school form a community partnership with this senior living facility, and our class gets to be involved in some of the early steps of this program! So this Friday we get to hand out Valentines to the residents during their lunch hour! We need parent volunteers to help out, if you can! We also will need everyone to turn in their permission slips ASAP! (They went home today...) Thanks for all of your help and support, and we'll be sure to bring the camera!

Upcoming Field Trip

Info is going home in the next week about our upcoming field trip to the Tucson Rodeo! We get to watch all of the rodeo participants practice for the rodeo on Monday, February 22 (note the date change from the info I posted in the newsletter this week...). The cost of the trip is free, but we are asking for $2 per child to purchase cowboy duds for each student! We found a smokin' deal online and can get a hat and bandanna for each child for only $2. If this is a hardship please speak with me. We can work something out... The $2 is due this Friday (Feb. 5) so we can have enough time to order the items and have them back to us for the field trip!

YEE HAW!!
