Today's airplane ride was very adventurous! Students wanted to fly (back in time) to the Jurassic period to see Dinosaurs, then to Arizona, then to Oregon and up to Alaska, where the polar bears and salmon live. It was a long (10 minutes) and bumpy ride. Thank goodness no one got motion sick aboard.

Circle Time: We enjoyed talking and reading about United States Presidents. Vocabulary words today included: President, United Sates of America (U.S.), America, leader, ruler, and country. We enjoyed listening to George Washington and the General's Dog.

Frosting Cookies: We ended the day with a sweet treat from Valentines!
