Hi! My name is Meredith and I am the Humans of Pinewood reporter this week. I chose Mrs. U’ren, the fifth grade teacher.
Mrs. URen loves teaching because she loves to make school fun and exciting for kids. Her dream vacation would be Costa Rica. Her favorite subject to teach is social studies. Mrs. URen has two kids herself. They both go to Pinewood. Mrs. URen said teaching in Jenison is her dream job that she has been fulfilling.

This has been a busy week at Pinewood. We started our week by celebrating the 100th day of school!

The kids could dress up as a 100 year old, counted out a snack that was 100 pieces, wrote about what they learned these last 100 days, searched for 100 shapes in the number 100, and made themselves a pair of 100 glasses. While these days are very labor intensive, they are so much fun! Check out the pictures below of a few of our activities.

We also celebrated Valentine’s Day yesterday. This is also a Kindergarten favorite. Passing out their Valentines for their friends, playing games, and crafting are just some of the ways we celebrate a day of LOVE. Check out the pictures below.

While it was a short week, it was full of fun and learning. Just the way kindergarten should be!

Hurray for 100 Day and Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
