KINDERGARTEN NEWS
I hope everyone enjoyed their week off. Before the break the children celebrated their 100th day of school- thank you to the parents who came to help with the centers. The children colored a 100 mystery picture, did a 100 exercise activity, built with 100 cups, created pictures using the numbers 1-0-0 and dabbed 100 dots. In the classroom the children also made a 100 beaded necklace, found the numbers 1-100 around the classroom then put them back in number order to make a 100 chart, made a 100 days smarter crown, listened to 100 day stories and 100 day music and movement activities!
