Andrew's Valentine's School Party

Andrew’s school Valentine’s Party was held on Thursday.

I was able to join them for the fun!

He and his class decorated cookies, made valentine card holders, distributed Valentine greetings, enjoyed a spread of healthy and sweet treats. I brought a bunch of veggies, cheese, crackers and pink colored rice crispy treats. At the end of the school day, everything but a few celery sticks was gone. After feasting on all the goodies, most of the students played “Head’ Up Seven-Up” and I played the game “Sorry” with Andrew’s friend Brandon.

Mrs. Bidiman is beginning her teaching series on Poetry and she used Valentine’s Day to kick it off…Here is Andrew Heart Day Poem…

On Valentine’s Day
so many thoughts come to my mind
Here they are: love, dove
Kiss, miss
Hugs, bugs, bear hugs
Red roses, red noses
Boys run from girls
Kiss me, you miss me
Cupid has lots of love
Watch your back for girl cousins
Romance is no man’s
business

There are so many fun things about this poem, I really see the Alaskan influence in it with “bear hugs” and “red noses” and even “girl cousins” speaks to the fact that everyone here is related. Steve and I loved the last line, and asked him about it…he said he needed to find a word that rhymed with “romance” and “no man’s” was the perfect fit…ohhhh, if he only knew how right he was :)
