100th DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!

We made it to the 100th day of school and we couldn't be more EXCITED!!!

We started our day out in the most perfect way by going to Mass and acknowledging our Disciple of the Month students for Goodness, Honor Roll, and Perfect Attendance!!

We sorted out different snack items in groups of 10 to count by 10s to 100 so that our Trail Mix had 100 goodies!

*photo was after we had prayed and could already begin eating in case you were wondering why there isn't 10 of each :)

We did multiple counting activities to 100, sorting 100 items into groups of 10s, thought about what we would do with $100, imagined ourselves being 100 years old, and simply enjoyed celebrating being 100 days smarter together!!



We also had our AR reading party as we are beginning to get excited about answering questions about the wonderful books we have read!

In our SecondStep guidance we talked more about calming down strong feelings and taking belly breaths to help us!

It was more than an amazing day today!! I hope you all have a terrific weekend and I look forward to seeing you at the All School Mass on Sunday at 11:00a.m.!!!!

Day: 99!

Today we took our first AR reading tests for Hop on Pop!  We also had the wonderful opportunity of being able to be a part of a miracle of Christ when the 7th grade students came to read to us!  It truly was a miracle in the moment as they gave us the most precious gift: being read to out of love and generosity of their own time and talent!

We also have new 'families' coming to our classroom: WORD FAMILIES!!! Ask your child about members of the 'ip family' such as: tip, hip, slip, drip, trip, etc.

Tomorrow is our 100th day of school!!! We are SO EXCITED to celebrate being 100 days smarter!!
