Valentine's Day Party

Unfortunately we had a snow storm on the day of our Valentine's Day party, but before we left the kids talked me into letting them open their Valentine's Day cards, so they still had fun.

100 Days of School

We celebrated our 100th day of school on Wednesday, February 5^th, 2020.  The kindergartners have learned so much since that first day of school.  I am so proud of them!  Today we did many activities revolving around the number 100.  Hopefully it gave them a better sense of how much 100 is. Here are some of the activities we to celebrate 100 days of school.  It was a fun day!

1.     They assembled a 100-piece puzzle.

2.     They illustrated pages for the 100 booklet.

3.     They rolled the dice and colored in a penny for each dot trying to be the first to color in 100.

4.     They designed their own 100 headband. 

5.     We counted out 100 pennies on the 100 chart.

6.     They counted by 1s, 5s and 10s to 100.

7.     They were quiet for 100 seconds.

8.     They did 100 exercises.

9.     We wrote a list of 100 things they learned in kindergarten.

10. I read books about the number 100 and 100 days of school. 

11. They identified 100 birds. 

12. Then we ate a part of a giant, chocolate chip cookie!    It was a fun day!

Winter Birds in Our Area

I created a chart of birds that may be seen here in the winter.  When any student in our school has a bird sighting, they come and tell me and I mark one tally mark per sighting.  In this way, children start to become more observant and aware of their natural environment.
