After lunch we had the daily five - read to self and read to someone. Next, JKs had French.
After second lunch and recess we had centers where students explored manipulatives with the objective of developing fine motor skills.

Happy 100th Day of School!

What a great day!
We began the day with gym class, snacks and morning circle time.
Next we made crowns where JKs received 10 stripes of paper to put 10 of the following: stamp, draw or put stickers. That way we would sum up to 100 pictures!
In the afternoon we read stories about the 100th Day of School, had French class and practiced our poems.
After second recess/lunch we used popcorn to count into groups of 10s and to use for 1:1 correspondence.
Have a great long weekend everyone!
Ps. In celebrating the 100th Day of School, these quotes came to my mind...
 
 
Enjoy the pictures and videos...
