Becoming a Detective
You and your classmates are preparing to have a Valentines Party and you are in charge of purchasing the food and drinks for the party. Don't forget that for any party to be fun, you also need some entertaining games and music. You may even want to read a few books about Valentine's Day in the week leading up to the party to get everyone excited!

Searching for Clues
Your help is needed to organize this party. If you choose to accept this task, your group will become the event planners for this party. Your job is to figure out how many pizza’s we will need to purchase if each child is going to have 2 pieces of pizza and 16 ounces of soda to drink. You will also need to come up with 3 games and 6 songs that would be appropriate to use at the party! You will have $125.00 and plenty of online resources to use as you prepare for this great day.
Cracking the Case
Now that you have gathered all your information and know how many pizzas and drinks to purchase, come up with an order sheet that can be used by the teacher to order your pizza’s from Papa John's. The teacher also needs a supply list that can be used to purchase your drinks and other items at Valu-Market. On a separate piece of paper, write up the directions for your 3 games, so that parents can lead these games. Also, make a list of your 6 songs that can be downloaded to use at the party. Make a trip to the library to get at least 2 books to read the week before the party. Turn in an agenda to the teacher by next Friday, so we have plenty of time to prepare. This should be one rockin' Valentine’s party!!
