Reading 100 Books on Day 100!

Reading on Day 100!

This Friday, January 29, is Day 100 of school. Our class will be doing a variety of activities revolving around this theme. Here are a few examples:

What would you do with 100 dollars?

I could eat 100 _______.

I do not want 100 ________.

In 100 days of kindergarten I learned ________.

I am challenging the class to read 100 or more books on Day 100. All our parents are invited to come to school on Friday from 10:00-11:00 to help us meet this challenge. Come here lots of stories and cheer us on!

Many thanks for your support!

Earning Marbles!


Daily, when someone in our class does the "right thing," we add another marble to the "Do the Right Thing" jar. Last week the class suggested that we count all the marbles we have earned so far this year.
Each child counted out 10 marbles to put into a cup. When all the marbles had been placed into cups, we counted the cups by tens. The class was amazed that we had already earned 217 marbles!
Since then, there has been a great deal of interest in our class with earning more marbles. As of 2:00 today, January 13, we have 250 in the jar! Keep up the great work, class!
