We had a very busy day today! Our morning began promptly with African dancing. Ask your child to tell you about his or her experience with this. I heard lots of positive, excited comments. Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy it. We will be dancing again on Wednesday and on Friday morning at 8:00 there is a culminating performance that will include some students. (I'm not yet sure if any Kindergarten students are part of this.)

Then of course there was Valentines Day! The children were very excited about this and spent a fair amount of time passing out their cards and examining the contents of their mail boxes.

We were joined this morning by Alison Champlin, who will be doing an internship with us for the next several weeks. She will be in the classroom on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and joining Mrs. Belknaps's class in the afternoons. The children put her right to work and it was nice to have an extra set of hands.
