Specials for the Week of January 27th- 31st
CONGRATULATIONS to our Star of the Week, Daniela Lara and a Happy 6th Birthday to Skylar Crosby!!
We had such a great time celebrating the 100th Day of School! Some of our favorite centers were: Chewing gum 100 times, walking 100 steps, rolling a dice to 100, making a 100's day hat, counting by 10's to 100, standing still for 100 seconds... Kindergarten is so much fun. Of course we had to follow up with the 101st day of school and made dalmatian hats and watched 101 Dalmatians during our indoor recess.
I am very proud that we earned our last two compliments this week and were recognized on the Craig News show for earning our Craig Characters!!
