Worth More Than Gold...

 Since tomorrow is Saint Patrick's Day and we will be on a field trip, we have been learning all about Ireland and how their culture celebrates this fun Holiday for the past week!  We worked on a lot of comparing and contrasting Non Fiction books about the country of Ireland with fun Fiction books about Leprechauns and Pots of Gold!  On Tuesday we did a really cute writing activity where the students wrote about someone that is worth more than gold to them!  I loved seeing how thoughtful and caring my students were when trying to decide who they were going to write about! 

 Family and Mommys were important to these two students!

Communities and Moms were important to these sweet students!

Mommys and brothers were a big hit for these students!

 These two students valued their Grandpa and Friend!

I hope everyone is having a great week!  It looks like our weather for tomorrow's field trip is going to be beautiful!  Please remember to put sunscreen on your students BEFORE they come to school and not to send in with them in their backpacks!  Also, we will be walking a lot so please make sure they have comfortable shoes  and clothing on for hiking!  Also, if you are planning to join us, please remember we are only allowed to bring two cars per class so you will need to arrange car pooling with other parents attending!  If you have any questions, please feel free to email me!  Have a great day!
