Attention PK-2nd Grade Parents
Dear Parents or Guardians,
The 100th day of school is on Monday, January 31st ! Grades Pre K-2 will be celebrating with all sorts of fun math and literacy activities. We encourage students to participate in the assigned grade-level activities to celebrate this special day! We are also asking each child to bring in a set of 100 items to show the class. It can be anything. Some ideas are 100 buttons, 100 rocks, 100 pennies, 100 stickers, 100 pieces of cereal, 100 cookies, 100 pictures, 100 pencils, or 100 cotton balls. Use your imagination! Be creative! This is optional!
Pre –k Kindergarten – Dress like a 100-year-old!
First grade – Wear clothing decorated with 100 items!
Second grade – bring to school a collection of 100 things! It can be a collection of any 100 things, as long as they are school appropriate and can be carried to school by yourself! You can put the items on a poster or paper, or put them in a bag! The choice is yours!
Thank you for helping us celebrate the 100th day of school!
Sincerely,
Pre K-2 Teachers
