On Wednesday February 26th we will be celebrating our 100^th day of kindergarten!  We will be completing all sorts of fun activities that day and will require your help with a couple before the big day arrives.  Here are the details:

Collect a set of 100 items.  Please help your child fill a bag with 100 like items and bring them to school.  Examples could be 100 cheerios, 100 pennies, 100 paperclips, 100 pieces of macaroni, 100 buttons, etc.  The possibilities are endless however the 100 items should be something that we can keep at school as we will be weighing them, building with them, and using them for a variety of projects.  To help with the counting, we sent home a workmat which will help your child count 100 items.  Counting sets of 10 is easiest by placing ten on each circle of the workmat.  Our focus is on 100 being made up of 10 sets of 10. This will make their counting much more manageable.  Please send in your filled baggie by Monday February 24th.

Dress for the day!  Have a discussion with your child about how they would look if they were 100 years old.  Would their hair be the same?  How would they dress? How would they walk?  Would their eyesight be the same as it is now? Use your imagination and come to school dressed like a 100 year old!  
