The boys and I went to school loaded down with Valentine's to give and came back loaded down with Valentine's received. Each boy had a small party in their class for exchanging Valentines, and we did the same in my First Grade class. It was a day of sugar sugar and more sugar!
After homework we had our annual Valentines Hunt....with their gift at the end. Each year I have had to get more creative so the clues could get harder. It's getting hard to out smart these boys. But in the end they both got iPod shuffles, which they seem to really like. As they get older it seems even their small gifts are getting more pricey....
The week ended with K having to wear his Columbus costume to school on Friday and be in character all day. It was fun to see all the scholars around school in their costumes and listen to them attempt to stay in character.
We have made some small adjustments at home one being that all homework for the next week has to be done before fun begins...this is proving difficult for K who takes his time with homework. He spent Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday morning on his homework. We hope he can learn to focus so that he can get to the fun parts of the weekend!
