Happy 1/2 Birthday!

Happy 1/2 Birthday (on Friday) to our first grade friend! (We celebrated today, Monday February 24th, due to all the snow!!) 

Turning 100 for our 100th Day!

We celebrated our 100th day today! We learned a 100th day song, completed 100 day math activities, and even turned ourselves to look like we were 100 years old! We used a new app on our iPads to make the first graders "look" like they were 100 years old! They were able to select different props and hair styles to make "their look" all their own! We also then wrote about what the first graders think they will be doing when they are 100 years old! This was one of our favorite activities of the year!
