Linking Learning--and Fun-- to Life

The K-Kids had their monthly meeting on Monday, and they had a ball creating valentines for the residents of Ennis Court Skilled Nursing Care Center on Detroit Avenue.  Student grade level leaders worked with Kiwanis adults, Horace Mann staff, St. Peter's Aftercare staff and parent volunteers to help each student create several sweet cards for the residents.

Special thanks to Mrs. Diemert for bringing Paper Trails resources (fun stickers, pretty patterns, etc) and providing instruction and models to inspire our students' work.  We are so proud of our K-Kids for spreading love throughout the year, all over our community!
Another Horace Mann link to real life came from Mr. Fakan's classroom.  Mr. Fakan's brother--visiting Ohio on break from his university on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia--brought "Nemo" to school as part of a behavioral reward and link to curriculum.  Students had a great time feeding Nemo his breakfast!

Thanks to both Mr. Fakans for providing this opportunity to some of Horace Mann's students :-)
