I Love to Read and Olympics Week!

The week before February Break was action packed- literally!  I will take you on a look back at the week's events starting with Friday's Orchard School Winter Olympics in the gym.
Before the ceremonies began, our class was highlighted because of the letters of encouragement we wrote to the US Women's and Men's Nordic Ski Team.  If you haven't already heard (thanks to Mr. White's connections) we sent good luck letters as well as a list of questions and Jessie Diggins- now an olympic gold medalist wrote us back!  Here is a look at the crew holding up their letters while Mrs. Frostman read Jessie's responses.
Here is a look at the speed skating event (note the scarves on the floor) that our two class representatives competed in and a look at one of them with their gold medal.
My fifth grade daughter spent the day with us as a helper and here you can see her working with a student like a big buddy and playing the role of "The Great Boudini" in Mr. White's game of magical mind reading.
On Thursday we read with friends by the light of flashlights at Quiet Time.  Pretty cozy in our jammies!
On Wednesday Officer Kevin was our Guest Reader!  He read a super story about baseball and believing in yourself and answered many questions.
On Tuesday, we had February's Farm to School Lesson and learned about cheddar cheese, where it comes from and how the aging process changes it's flavor.  It all begins with the cow!

Lastly, we began the week with "read with a stuffie" as an I Love to Read Week activity.  You can see from the picture below that our cuddly friends inspired reading and and lots more.
