This Thursday is Cocoa Night! Come learn about the math and STEM activities we do in class. Hot cocoa will be provided. The event will be from 4:30-6 pm. Come and go as you would like!

The 100th Day of School is quickly approaching!  Currently, the 100th Day of School is scheduled for Monday, January 29th (unless we have any snow days between now and then). Our class is planning a celebration for the 100th Day of School in which all learning activities will be centered around the number 100.

As a part of our day, our class will be creating a “100th Day Museum.” Please have your child bring a collection of 100 things to school on Monday, January 29th .  The collection needs to be small enough for your child to carry to school.  Some examples might include 100 paperclips, cotton balls, pennies, cereal pieces, ribbons, beads, toothpicks, pencils, playing cards, etc.  Let your child use his/her imagination to come up with a unique, one of a kind collection.

Our class will be displaying their collections on the 100th Day of School during math.          

In addition, on the 100th Day of School each student will create his/her own special snack of with 100 pieces of food (like a trail mix).  For this special snack, we would like to ask for  donations.  Please sign up using this link: https://goo.gl/dr8Mn8 Please send in your snack donations ASAP (we are still missing some items), so we can ensure we have enough snack for each student.  Each student will get 10 pieces of 10 snack foods for their trail mix.  Please make sure that your snack donation is enough for 20 students. Thank you if you have already signed up!
