US Takes the Lead in the Fai-Tea
Girls, I will be out of town for a conference, but the US is winning! Be sure to go on Manga High all week and accept the challenge! We are on a roll! Let's keep up the momentum. Also, the internet is working again, so maybe you will be able to work on the laptops tomorrow. I hope so! I will miss you, but work hard, do your best, and don't be too CHATTY!

The Brits vs. The Yanks
The Brits vs. The Yanks
The challenge is on! Our class is on fire. The girls have been active on Mangahigh.com since the beginning of the year. This is a fabulous math site that allows the girls to work on many different concepts and levels. We have been so active that we have been chosen for a Fai-To several times. This is when we compete with schools not only across the country, but also across the world!
That is the case now! We have been invited to compete with an English school in a Fai-Tea. Remember the good old Boston Tea Party....well, we're on! We are competing with a school in Warwickshire. I showed the girls the school website this morning, so they are raring to go. Everything was going great until we lost internet access this afternoon, so their homework tonight is to work at the Fai-Tea at home! Go Yanks! Go Fourthies!

From Cupcakes to Garden, and Decades...What's This
The party started at 8:15....amidst squeals of delight, the girls scurried from classroom to classroom delivering their Valentines laden with lollipops, chocolate kisses, and various heart-shaped candies. Creativity at its best...Valentines pouring from boxes decorated with Winston Churchill's words , or as an iPod, or with the top hits of the Fifties or as a Victory Garden...such flair. Beautiful pink, white and green cupcakes, fruit cups, and flowers galore...what more could a Fourthie want or for that matter, a Fourthie teacher? I know...a Fourthie mom devoted to health, fun, and the garden...one Russell Combs, equipped with juicer, apples, carrots, and kale....how green is that, how hip is that?
The girls were fascinated, and most of them tried some of the delicious, healthy juice. Then, Russell, no stranger to our school garden, and all of us, trooped over there on this beautiful Valentine's Day to deposit the pulp in the compost... more learning, more climbing on bales of hay, much sunshine, and much laughing could be seen on Grove Avenue....just another day in the life of a St. Catherine's Fourthie.
