What a wonderful week we had!
We celebrated our 100th day of school on Wednesday, February 8th. We started the day with a scavenger hunt. The students were challenged to complete 100 things on their q100th day of school. Some of the things we did were clap our hands 100 times, say hi to a teacher and give a friend a big, friendly smile. I hope you saw these completed scavenger hunts in your child's Thursday folder. Many students also brought in terrific projects from home to share the number 100. We saw incredible creativity. The students displayed their projects at the desks and after our "100th Day Museum" was created, we invited Mrs. Thyng's class to come and visit our display. We also traveled to her classroom and saw all the incredible projects her students had completed. Here are some pictures for you to see.
In math, we also celebrated with special math activities designed around the number 100. Please visit our math blog for more details and pictures. You can click here to access directly. Thank you.
We also had Lindsey's mom, Christine, join our classroom this week for a very special learning activity on money and saving. As many of you might recall, and perhaps you are also participating in, the program entitled "Reading is Investment." (Information about this reading program went home a few weeks ago in the students' folders). Lindsey's mom read two books to us, "The Penny Pot" by Stuart Murphy and "Trouble with money" by Stan and Jan Berenstain. We discussed money, how to spend it wisely and how to save. We also received a brand new Vermont State Quarter. Thank you, Christine! We learned so much.
Have a great rest of the week and weekend,
Maria
