A Real "Snow Day" in Kindergarten!

It's not every day that 

Mrs. Hulen's students can make snow.

Mixing, mixing....a little "elbow grease!"

Expert help from our 3rd grade friends.

So much fun, Mrs. Whewell's 

class made the day special in every way.

The Abbreviation Challenge

We're in "growth zones" 

at our building every day.

One zone was playing a new game Mr. Holtz calls "Abbreviation Scoot."  We met his challenge...with 28 different clues!

If you know "Mister" can be written as "Mr."

then this activity is just perfect for you.

January 31st marked Parkside's 

one hundredth day of the school year.

Shall we say, 

"Let the merriment begin!"

The preschoolers figured out

just how far one hundred steps takes you.

From their classroom,

all the way to the Media Center!

Want to achieve the "gray" look?

The secret:  hair spray + baby powder.

We had some very dignified "older" folks.

Thankfully we did not have to

call nurse Jennifer Foster, for help! 

Don't get all weird about getting older!

Our age is merely the number of years
the world has been enjoying us!

"I'll tell you how to stay young.
Hang out with older people."
~Bob Hope

Oh what a grand time, 

we're all one hundred days smarter!
