We also completed our F&P testing with each student. This assessment gives us an idea of each student's reading level. The information gathered will be shared with you in their 2nd trimester report card as well as at conferences.

100th Day of School
We started our morning by diving into our math stations that were all based on 100. The kids worked on putting together a 100 chart puzzle, rolled a dice with a partner to race to 100, flipped a coin 100 times tracking if it landed on heads or tails, and they played Battleship using the 100 chart. We are very proud of the progress we have made in counting to 100 and developing our number sense!
After the morning of 100 day work, we decided to continue the 100th day celebration into the afternoon with a variety of motor skill tasks. We worked on fine motor skills by stringing fruit loops to make a necklace. First, the students had to fill a hundreds chart with fruit loops. Then, they were able to string the fruit loops onto a necklace while making sure to use a straw to separate each set of ten. We also had 100 piece puzzles for the kids to assemble as a team. For gross motor practice, we built a tower using 100 cups as well as participating in 100 exercises.
It was so much fun, we were sad to see the day come to an end. If only every day could be a celebration like the 100th day was.
