100s Day Celebration - Feb. 23

Can you believe it is the  100th   day  of school? I decided we will celebrate in the day  we come back from vacation.  There is just too much else going on today. We will be doing some fun things in school for 100s  day , but your child will  not  need to bring in collections of 100 things that  day  (I know many  K and 1 classes did  that already)  However, one thing we did try last year and had fun was dressing up as if we were 100 years old.  Students could could also  wear  something with 100 things on it (or do both, or neither if they aren't interested).

Homework - Week of Feb. 10 and Valentine's Day Reminders

Hi everyone- due to the snow day, the delay and next week being school vacation, there are a couple changes to the homework.
