The 100th Day of School is scheduled for Wednesday, February 5th (unless we have any snow days between now and then). Please have your child bring a collection of 100 things to school on Wednesday, February 5th .  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.  Have your student practice counting out these 100 things! This is great counting practice! Our class will be displaying their collections on the 100th Day of School during math.          

Thank you for all the 100^th day snack donations! We are good to go!

Have a wonderful evening!!
