100 Days of School...

Friday was the 100th Day of School for us. We were so excited! Since our very first day, we have been counting every day that we have been in Kindergarten. Along the way, we have learned to count by 1's, 5's & 10's. Reaching 100 days has been a major milestone for us. We each brought in 100 tiny treats. We mixed them all together and made a great snack.

We did 100 exercises, made fun hats, ate and danced. We had a lot of fun!

A Double Celebration...

We are trying to get caught up here on our blog. Back on Feb. 13th we had a "Double Celebration". Due to several snow days, we ended up celebrating the 100th Day of School, along with Valentine's Day! Talk about a FULL day! If you're wondering what the 100th Day is all about we'll try to explain. Since our very first day of school, back in August of '08, we have been counting the days we have been in school. We can only count the days we are actually in class so having snow days can't be included. We were not so sure about celebrating two special events in the same day, but what else could we do? We couldn't celebrate the 100th Day on the 99th day, nor could we wait until the 101st day of school. It just didn't seem right. We agreed that a double party was both well deserved and the right thing to do! ;-)

Take a look at a quick video of our 100th Day Celebration and then take a peek at our Valentine's Day Party. As always, the mom's made our parties so special. We even got a special treat of cotton candy from the "Cotton Candy Ladies" ;-).

What a fun day!

The 100th Day of School...

Today we celebrated 100 days of school! We have been counting all the days since the very beginning of Kindergarten. We couldn't count any days that school was closed, only the days we were actually here. Along the way we have learned to count by 1's, 5's and 10's. We've learned about place value; the ones place, the tens place and now the hundreds place. We've talked about the importance of putting the digits in the right place to show the correct value of a number; for example 17 and 71 do not have the same value. We have been anxiously awaiting our celebration. Our room was decorated and we made 100 day glasses. We did 100 exercises. Each child was to bring in 100 snacks to put in the big bowl to make a "trail mix" treat. We sorted our treats by size, color, crunchiness, etc. It was delicious! Take a look at some of the fun we had!
