Happy 100th Day!

Today we celebrated being 100 days smarter with some good fun!  This afternoon students measured out various distances (100 mm, 100 cm, 100 in, 100 ft) on the black top and tried to see if they could throw a football that far.  This activity was led by our fabulous student teacher Miss Fekete.  We are so fortunate to have her joining our classroom for the next season of learning.  She is a lovely addition to our room 8 family.  :)

Students also recorded and graphed how many words they could read, jumping jacks they could do, verbs they could name, sit ups etc... they could accomplish in just 100 seconds.  Thank you to our wonderful Mrs. Cote, my right hand gal in all things math, for leading this fun activity!

In class with me students worked on a sweet friendship quilt and snacked on a festive treat.  Nyla called this the, "Best day of her life."  Happy heart <3

100th Day of School!

Woohoo! We made it to 100 days! That means 80 days to go till sunny carefree summertime livin'!  I just had to, summer is my hands down favorite season. Back to classroom happenings... We celebrated being 100 days smarter today!  I am so proud if each one of my little loves growth so far and this time of year they really shoot up!  We figured out how many more years we all had before we will be 100 years old. Then we charted all our hopes and dreams we want to accomplish by then. Let me just say it was a fantastic bucket list! We had everything from become president to learn how to roller skate. Out of the mouths of babes right!  During reading centers the students wrote using the sentence starter "In ___ years I will be 100 years old. There are several things I would like to accomplish by then..." Here's how they turned out. Guaranteed to make you smile!

We also timed and graphed things we could do in 100 seconds. The hardest one was sit-ups. Whew! What a workout!
