Students passed out Valentine's cards this morning, ate one piece of their candy, then we quickly put everything into backpacks so nothing would get lost. We played a Valentine's game similar to Duck Duck Goose and colored a heart graph. The answer to the Hot Tamale estimation project is 550. Hunter had the closest answer of 567. Way to go Hunter!! He got to take the container of Hot Tamales home. We'll do more estimation projects so others have a chance to win a prize, too. In their journals, students wrote about a revolting meal. I won't go into any detail--they came up with some really disgusting ideas. I can tell they really understand their new vocabulary word! I read Junie B. Jones and the Mushy Gushy Valentine. The students loved the story so much that they clapped at the end. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
