On Thursday, February 5th is our 100th day of school! We will have 100th day rotations amongst the different kindergarten classrooms to celebrate. In Mrs. Patton's classroom, we will create 100th day squiggles. In Mrs. Long's class, the students will make 100th day headbands. In Ms. Fahmy's class, students will make 100 pattern fruitloop necklaces. And in Mrs. Tabor's class, students will create a 100 peice snack.

We will not have our normal math and literacy homework this week. Instead, children will be working on two projects. The first project is the 100th day collection. Students are to collect 100 items in a ziploc sized bag to share with the class on the 100th day (Thursday, February 5th.) They may also choose to place 100 objects, such as stickers, on a piece of 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. The second project is our community helpers project. Students are to create a poster of what they want to be when they grow up. On the poster, students must include at least three tools they will use in this profession. This project is due on Monday, February 9th.
