Here's a sampling of what has been going on:

Megan's vision board for 2020

Megan's January Art Masterpiece project

Matthew's January Art Masterpiece project

Matthew's vision board for 2020

One of Matthew's science experiments was dissolving salt and sugar in water and then letting the water evaporate. Here are the results:

Lots of salt crystals all over the container.

The sugar crystals solidified together at the bottom of the container.

Each 3rd grade class painted kindness rocks. These are the rocks from Megan's class. Megan's is the blue one on the bottom right plate.

The rocks from Matthew's class. His rock is the only yellow one; it's in the upper right corner.

Megan's friendship party. She's playing bingo. Me is helping another group of kids decorate bags for their valentines in the back of the room.

Matthew's friendship party. Here, he is doing a wordsearch.

At this station, the kids through a heart bean bag to determine which exercise they would do. Options included jumping jacks, squats and burpees. The kids loved it!

Playing a numbers game.

We went to the last running club race of the season. Here are shots from a few locations along the 1.5 mile course.

Coming into the finish!

Megan and Reilly race to the finish while Me records their efforts.

For the February Art Masterpiece project, the kids each made a flower square that we put together to form a quilt. This is the quilt from Matthew's class. His flower is the one in the middle on the far left.

Megan's class quilt. Megan's is the one with a yellow background that is in the second column from the right, second row from the bottom.

Eating free pancakes at IHOP on national pancake day.

Playing Just Dance as part of family fun night (a once-a-quarter night where they don't have any homework).

Few quotes from this month:

Sarah: There is no life without cheese.

From Megan's prayer:
Thankful for the trials we have and the world we face, but help them not to be too hard.
