Well...today was the 99th day of school...which means tomorrow is the big 1-0-0!!! We edited many very wacky bits in our morning message and showed 9 in as many different ways as we could. We learned two new songs about the 100th day of school and put them in our poetry duotangs. After recess we tried to beat our speed record playing "I Have, Who Has" as a class, and the students played "Race to 100" in pairs. We had a lot of fun playing Elephant Soccer in phys ed! We spent our afternoon doing multiple rotations of our 100th Day centers. We are pretty excited for tomorrow!
Mail Pockets
- No new notices went home today, so mail pockets remained at school.
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
- Thank you SO much for all of the help and support you consistently offer. I am amazed by (and extremely grateful for) the volunteer response we get in this classroom!

We ask that students please bring in a small-sized, non-nut snack item to contribute (roughly 2 or 3 cups should be fine), as well as an egg carton cut down to 10 cups (serving as a ten frame). Students will measure out ten pieces of ten different snacks to enjoy a trail mix of exactly 100! Thank you for your help. The students love to be math chefs!
