Happy 100th Day!

 

 I can't get over the level of cuteness that walked into the classroom this morning. Amazing! We had a fun and casual day (can't work ourselves too hard at 100) with it being a half day. Here are some pictures from today. I didn't realize until I uploaded them if a mustache was falling off or glasses were crooked. Too cute. The students couldn't stop laughing at me, as well. They were surprised I participated!

Milk Jugs?

We are soooo close to getting all 23 milk jugs! We are two short. Thank you so much to those of you that sent extra. I only need two more so if anyone has another before Thursday that would be wonderful!!

The 100th Day

The 100th Day is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, Feb. 12th!! I can't wait to see how the students are dressing!! Also a reminder to send in a well cleaned out milk jug (ideally tomorrow but ASAP) for our Valentine holders. Thank you!!

American Symbols!

Here are some pictures of the work we did around American Symbols. Aren't the statues adorable?

American Symbols Challenge

Last week we spent a lot of time learning about four important American symbols! Please ask your child these questions. Email me their answers and 2/3 correct will earn a little prize. Thank you! 
1.  Which country gave the United States the Statue of Liberty?
2. Why was the Liberty Bell rung in 1776? 
3. The bald eagle has excellent ___________.
Bonus! How many stairs are there from the pedestal to the top of the crown in the Statue of Liberty?

Chinese New Year!

We made some adorable dragons (or lions?) for Chinese New Year. It is the year of the horse if you were curious!

Valentine's Day and 100th Day Information!

Students will be creating their own valentine holders using clear gallon milk jugs. Please send one (must be cleaned out WELL) in to school at any point before 2/10. I will send home a list soon with names for valentines. Please remember we have a no food policy so this also applies to valentines (no candy attached). Thank you!

I will be asking for parent volunteers to do some craft stations on this day (similar to Halloween). If you are interested, please email me. I am hoping to get five different stations going. :)

Our 100th day is scheduled to be on February 11th as of now. Please think about how you can have your child dress as they are 100 years old! I will send home a detailed letter soon but this is a fun way to dress up on this day! It is optional. Be thinking suspenders, gray hair, pearls, etc.  I have pictures on this blog from last year for some ideas!

Thank you!
