100^th Day of School

The 100th Day of School is quickly approaching!  Currently, the 100th Day of School is scheduled for Monday, February 3rd (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, February 3rd.  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.           

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/ccZpvr

Please send in your snack donations by January 31st, 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 18 students.

Thank you for your help!

Have a great night!
