This week we celebrated our 100th day of school.   While Thursday was our official 100th day, with the snow day and early release day our celebration was spread throughout the week.  Our math stations on Tuesday and Wednesday included counting and building with 100 geo-blocks, playing a game to 100, and completing a numbers to 100 scavenger hunt in the classroom.  Children particularly loved the scavenger hunt, which involved wandering the room with a clipboard- ask your child to explain what they were looking for.  During choice time many children chose to count collections of 100 things, using the strategy of ten groups of ten.  We ended our celebration by making 100's crowns and having  a special 100's snack.

While Valentine's Day falls on a Saturday this year, children are welcome to make cards for their classmates to share on the 13th.  I have sent home a list of all of the children in our class- if your child chooses to bring valentines, please make sure there is one for everyone in the class.  We will have a small celebration while we look over our valentines.
