Tuesday was a crazy day in third grade. We had our grand friends in for lunch, our biography presentations, and a Valentine's Day card exchange. For the card exchange, Lydia suggested that we all sit in a circle so we could open cards together. It was so cute. These kids are truly a family.
Biography Day!
These kids are beyond amazing. I am so proud of their performance. They did such a nice job speaking in front of a huge group. A big thanks goes out to all the parents who helped the kids come up with wonderful costumes.

Making beeswax candles and Valentine cards with our 5th grade partners.
This morning, the children wrote a TOP SECRET paper about their future Valentines. After that, they joined Eliza and made little mice out of paper hearts. Cute!
