The Luther Scoop: Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! Today we had many exciting things happening.

This morning the CLC Breakfast Club started off their day with some fun Valentine's activities. The first thing we did was make special bookmarks using red paint and our thumbs.

Javian begins the project by painting his thumb red.

Students used their thumbs to make hearts on their bookmark.

Hector shows off his finished bookmark.

Later students put their critical thinking skills to the test as they had to figure out the best way to get down the hallway without touching the floor. They could only use two paper hearts to help them move along. It was fun to see the students' different strategies.

Keven stepped on one heart at a time while Javian used the hearts to slide across the floor.

Nathan concentrates as he figures out how to make his next move without touching the floor.

Moises appears to fly through the air from one heart to the next while Jasmin moves quickly on the ground.

The Luther Scoop reporters have been busy selling newspapers yesterday and today. This month we are having a contest where students can enter to win a Valentine's surprise. So far we have sold over 80 newspapers and are hoping to sell some more tomorrow.

Jaqui and Diana help sell newspapers on Monday.

Alexis, Stacy, and Yusi planned to wear red, pink, and white on Valentine's Day to help them sell newspapers to more people.

Another fun project students worked on this week was making one of a kind photo frames for their families. Students were able to decorate a frame and take it home for a special Valentine's Day present for someone in their family.
