Another week has passed by quickly and our students are working very hard!  They continue to grow and make progress every day.  We are quickly approaching the 100th day of school! Each classroom will celebrate this very special day, as it's aligned with our kindergarten and first-grade math learning targets. All year they've been counting the days of school to reach the celebration.   On the 100th day, teachers will facilitate activities and discussions which require students to count, read, find, and move in (literally) a hundred different ways. 

 

Here are just a few examples of how learning transpires around this very predictable, yet monumental event: Students will read books about the 100th day of school and the concept of 100, learn a poem about 100 days in kindergarten, play math games, and conduct investigations into the number 100, create a class book about the 100th day of school and make and wear necklaces and headbands with 100 items.  Our 100th day event is planned for Friday, February 9th.

Lastly, I want to remind everyone how important it is to ensure all students continue to attend school, arrive on time, continue to be prompt and remain focused.

Remember, attendance matters and does make a difference!
