Day 100 Celebrations :)
Kindergarten and first grade had to alter their Day 100 Celebrations due to being full remote on the actual 100th day of school, Feb 11. They still completed a few fun remote Day 100 activities but Plan B was quickly put into place. The students returned to Face to Face instruction on Feb 16 and we all happily celebrated Day 101 by dressing up to the 101 Dalmatians theme. Mrs. Casano and Mrs. Lee created dalmatian dog masks for everyone.
