Happy 100th Day of School!!!

Dear Parents,

Happy 100th Day of School!  Wow! Time sure does fly!  I cannot believe we only have 78 more days of school!!!  The kids had a blast Friday.  We began by sharing our collections, which were really creative and cute.  We made 100-year old portraits (which I forgot to get a picture of for this post).  We counted out ten treats from ten plates to make our 100-piece snack mix.  We estimated how many items were in three bottles and figured out the bottle with the pennies had 100!  We worked in small groups to visit five centers:  100-piece puzzles, 100-stamp books, 100-Dixie cup towers, Race to 100, and Find 100 teddy bears!  Oh, it was definitely fun to see the kids in action!  Hope you enjoy the slideshow!

Sincerely,

Week 21

Dear Parents,

This week the kids worked on making their own mitten to help them retell the story The Mitten by Jan Brett.  They loved hearing how all the animals fit in the mitten and how stretched out it looked afterwards.  In Reading, we applied what we have learned about letter sounds and reading strategies to independently  read a leveled text.  We also worked in our Problem Solving journals to show our understanding of the word "under".  We also got a head start on assembling our 100th Day crowns/glasses!  

Sincerely,

Week 20

Dear Parents,

The students enjoyed their first couple of weeks back from the holidays.  We have spent time learning about winter.  Check out our hall displays as well as our attempts to make our own edible snowmen!  

Sincerely,
