100th Day of School!

We had so much fun celebrating the 100th day of school!  We had centers, snacks, and lots of things happening!

We made "snakes" with 100 pieces of cut up straws

We drew what we think we'll look like when we are 100 years old.

We wrote about what we would do if we had $100

We did some math challenge problems and colored in a grid to find a surprise

We worked with a partner to count and sort 100 m&m's and enjoyed them as a treat

We played a game with a partner rolling a dice 100 times!

Valentine's Day

February 14th was Valentine's Day.  We had some fun games and centers in our classroom and LOTS of treats!

Before we had Valentine's Day, we had to decorate our treat bags.

Spanish

We enjoyed 6 weeks of Spanish from the high school Spanish classes.  We learned colors, numbers, and a few phrases.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Today we celebrated Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  Our class enjoyed performing readers theaters to most classrooms K-7.  By the end of the day, the kids were performance experts!  They did great!  We having some technical difficulties getting the videos uploaded....I'm hoping they'll be coming soon! :)

They also wrote in their journals about why Martin Luther King, Jr. was special.

We are also looking forward to the 100th day of school on Friday.  We've started working on a few 100's day activities.  Today, we solved some math problems with numbers.  We answered things like:  what number is 10 more than 74, or one less than 56, or between 35 and 37, or has 2 tens and 3 ones.  The kids enjoyed completing this with partners, and then they found a mystery picture in a 100's chart with the numbers that they solved!

  

Megan

We got the chance to host Megan Christiansen in our classroom for the 2nd week of the Winter Explorium.  The kids enjoyed reading with Megan and showing her all of our routines and skills!  They'll miss her this week!  We have another high school student joining us for the first hour of the day now too!  Ashley Meade will be joining us for reading groups from now until the end of the year.  Both girls are interested in elementary education, so we are proud to encourage them!
