Morning Mystery Word:
NIADSL

Yesterday the class learned that Islands are big mountains that come from the bottom of the sea. The ocean is two miles deep in some spots. If you put all the land in the world together it would fit inside the Pacific Ocean.

Friday is Wheel Day! It is supposed to rain. Whitney suggested that we go ahead with wheel day, and he will try to find a break in the weather during the day. If there is no good time during the day, we will postpone it. Wheel day is optional - if you don't want to bring anything with wheels, there will be other things to do instead.

Friday is also Valentine's Day and Valentina's birthday! If the students want to bring in Valentines, there is a list of classmates in the take home folders. Please no candy, unless you already bought it. If you do bring candy, we will ask that the students eat it at home.

Pet Day is next Friday the 19th. Please see Whitney's post below for details.

Lots of the students said that they are making their own Valentine cards.

***NO SCHOOL MONDAY - President's Day!***

The class spent some time talking about Atlantis. They were positive that it is real.
