OPEN HOUSE, FEB. 11, 2009

Maple families got to visit C-2 and C Pod at an Open House held on Feb. 11. It was nice to see so many visitors! The C-2 students each had a checklist of items/activities that they were supposed to show to their family members. The students were especially proud to share their book reports (hanging from the ceiling lights) and their "Voyage of the Mimi" science notebooks.

VALENTINE'S DAY PARTY - FEB. 13, 2009

C-2 celebrated Valentine's Day by having a party on Feb. 13! The students made and decorated beautiful Valentine card holder envelopes. During the party, the students got to hand out their Valentine cards and put them in the envelopes on each child's desk. Then everyone got to make a fruit parfait made out of vanilla yogurt, apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries, and grape nuts cereal (provided by the Eat Better, Feel Better program and Ms. Rossman!). Thank you to the parents who came and helped the students make their fruit parfaits! Thank you to the students who gave me such wonderful Valentine cards! You made me feel very special!

100th DAY OF SCHOOL- FEB. 23, 2009

We celebrated the 100th Day of School on Monday, Feb. 23! Each student brought in 100 of some item. All of the wonderful 100 items were placed on display at the back of C Pod. We made a visit down to the Maple front office to share our 100 things (Thank you for the licorice, Principal Hunter!).

AQUARIUM FIELD TRIP - FEB. 27, 2009

We visited the Seattle Aquarium on Feb. 27, 2009. We were excited to see the newly remodeled and updated Aquarium and its exhibits! When we arrived at the Aquarium, we went to a hands-on tidepool creatures class. We got to "one finger touch" many interesting tidepool creatures, such as sea urchins, sea anemones, and scallops. After our class, we got to tour all of the exhibits at the Aquarium, as well as eat lunch. We especially enjoyed watching the divers in the large tanks! We'd like to thank those parents who helped to chaperone on this terrific field trip!
