100 Days Smarter!

Today we celebrated 100 days of school!!! The kids were excited to see our classroom door decorated wiht a sign and streamers to celebrate this special day!!!

Outside our classroom door

Inside our classroom door---100 days smarter!!!

We did a lot of fun things centered around the number 100! For math, we had 4 jars filled with different things and different amounts. Each student had to guess how much was in each jar and then we counted to see how close our guesses were. They did a great job with this! We also predicted where we would end up if we walked 100 steps from our classroom. We stuck a big foot on the wall beside where we stopped.

We also joined in with Mrs. King, Mrs. Findlay, and Mrs. Markham and posted 100 things we have learned this year in the hallway. Each class posted 25 things that they've learned this year. The kids had a great time thinking about all the things they have learned!!

I will shared the kids 100th day writing tomorrow! They were so creative!!

McGruff

Yesterday McGruff visited the school to share some safety tips with the students. The kids really enjoyed meeting McGruff and had lots of questions for him.

Can You Blow a Bubble??

We are learning to write directions in writing this week. The class has already wrote how to build a snowman. Today I brought a bag of bubble gum to class and asked them if they could tell me how to blow a bubble. They were immediately interested in what we were doing. Each child got 2 pieces of bubble gum and we went through each step of how to blow a bubble. Some got it without a problem while others didn't. It was very fun and a great experience for them. After actually getting to try to blow a bubble, they were able to tell me how to do it step by step. Now they will write instructions telling someone else how to do it. Ask your child if he/she could blow a bubble!
