Dear Parents,

Happy 100^th day of school! (Okay….just one day late…) Can you believe that we are already on day 101?!!?!? I am still a little in disbelief that it is already the third quarter! Time is sure flying by!

Below are a few pictures of our day yesterday and the fun that we had! 

The firsties started their day with a little scavenger hunt I hid 100 Hershey’s kisses all around our classroom and they had to find them all.  It took some time, but eventually all were found! 

Each kiss had a number on the bottom and the kids had to match the number on the bottom, with the number on the mat. 

In the afternoon, instead of Daily 4, there were 4 different activities that each firstie had to complete. 

One activity was to create a “100 Monster” following the directions.  

Another activity was to use the digits 100, and create a picture.

  

A third activity was to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.  Ask your firstie how many….(I think that most discovered, that it took more than 100 licks…)!

The final activity was to use 100 cups to build a tower, working in their groups.  Because of our smaller class size, the girls have had their own group and it is always interesting to me that, typically, the girls have a harder time with this activity, than the boys.  Hmmmm…..

So proud! 

"We had to put a lot on the bottom, because it kept falling over, Miss Gallagher."

"That was SO FUN!"

"We made it taller than us, Miss Gallagher!"

Thank you for sending in the 100 items! We discovered that is was interesting to see how 100 of one item can be SO MUCH and 100 of another item, looks as if it is not much at all.  


We had a total of 24 students sick in our school today…YIKES!!  We have been talking a lot about washing hands correctly and killing those pesky germs! 

Blessings on your evening! 
Miss Gallagher
