The 100th Day of School...

The 100th Day of School is fast approaching. You should have received a note explaining that on 100th Day of school all of the Kindergarten classes dress up like 100 YEAR OLDS! We also take part in many fun and educational 100th day activities.  Above, I posted a few pictures from my class last year to give you some ideas on how to dress up like a 100 year old. As of now, our 100th Day is February 20th. I will let you know if this changes.

Our Valentine's Day Party is February 14th. If you are working on your Valentine's Day cards, we have 27 students in our class.  Hope to see everyone tomorrow!  Keep Reading!!
