Ellie has really enjoyed the dinosaur unit at school! Every day, she's come home full of all sorts of information about bony plates, pointy tails, sharp teeth, plant eaters, meat eaters and more. The biggest dinosaur project was this special dinosaur habitat. Ellie and her classmates worked on their habitats for over a week, each day adding a little more detail. Yesterday, they added the final detail -- a clay dinosaur! Ellie is keeping the dinosaur in a
ziploc bag, when he's not on display, so she can re-mold him into another type of dinosaur.
Here is one with a bony shield.
Here's Ellie's favorite -- a "long-necked" dinosaur. He's hanging out on a boulder, resting his neck on a log.
Here he is surrounded by very prehistoric looking trees!
Ready to party -- Ellie's party was rolled a day early because of the chance of snow tomorrow!!! Ellie and I had the most fun together planning her class party! 
Valentine feast -- cupcakes, heart shaped sandwiches, cheetos & a goodie bag! Annie's mommy made red heart shaped ice cubes to float in sprite. YUMMY!!!
Whoooo Loves You??? It was an 'owl' theme -- her school mascot!
