The first graders at Elizabeth's school had a program right before Valentine's Day. They sang 4 songs for us, which was so much fun. Elizabeth was so cute and shy. She was so excited before the show, but kept telling me that she was just a little bit nervous. She did a great job singing along, she just looked a little nervous up there!
There she is, way at the top left.
The next day Elizabeth had a Valentine party in her class that I was in charge of. I decided to do a "minute to win it" theme party. We did four different games in four groups. They really had a great time.
The first game was how many marshmallows could the kids pick up in a minute with chopsticks.
Next the kids had to throw as many mini marshmallows into a basket as they could in a minute.
Then the kids all worked together to see how tall of a tower they could make in a minute with candy hearts.
Lastly the kids used straws to move M&M's into a bowl.
After the game the kids decorated a magnet with their photo and an assortment of other Valentine decorations.
Lastly they got snacks and a gift to take home. The girls got the necklace that Elizabeth has on that I made out of gumballs and the boys got a dog tag necklace. I think they all had a great time!
Poor Elizabeth - in February she was riding her cousin's electric scooter (I allowed her one trip up and down the sidewalk and that was it!) and on that one trip she fell off extremely hard onto her elbow. 
It didn't look swollen or anything so we ended up sending her to school the next day (bad mommy!) even though she wasn't really moving it. We took her into the nurse's office who said she didn't think it was broken because her range of motion was pretty good. Once she got home and in the bathtub we could see that her elbow was now swollen so I took her to the doctor the next day and it was slightly broken. 
She wore a cast for 4 weeks. No biking, scootering, running, recess, P.E., etc.. We went to have a treat with our neighbors after she got the cast on. 
She thought the idea of a cast was fun for the first few days, and after a while was very tired of it. She handled it really well and is glad to now be cast free!
