100th day of school celebration!
Stacking cups!
On the 100th day of school we used 100 cups to build a tower.
We're 100 days smarter!
We had so much fun wearing our pajamas on the 100th day of school. We have been working hard to count to 100 by 1's, 5's and 10's. We are did different exercises in sets of 10's to count to 100.
100th day snack!
We created a 100th day snack mix. We used different food items and ten frames counting by 10's to 100. We then put our snack mix into a bag to enjoy at home!
Reading month!
We had so much fun in the month of February reading different stories and having different mystery readers! The first week we enjoyed listening to stories read by a mystery teacher. The second week we enjoyed listening to stories read by mystery 4th and 5th graders. The third week was D.E.A.R. week (drop everything and read). We spent 15 minutes reading a book to our book buddies and even enjoying the springlike weather in February!
Groundhog's Day!
Learning is fun!
- We learned about a lot of different topics in the month of February. We talked about Groundhog's Day, had a lot of fun celebrating the 100th day, talked about President's Day and celebrated reading month and Valentine's Day!
