100^th day project Posters!  Due on Thursday, February 11th. 

Items in the past have included but were not limited to: toothpicks, cotton balls, paper clips, stickers, cereal pieces, dots, pictures, etc.—be creative!!  Have fun!!  We will take all of the creations and create a 100 museum for all the children to take a tour through.  Please be sure that your child’s name is on their poster board so that it may be returned.  Please ask your child to count out the items by ones, fives, AND tens.  Your child should be doing the creating, gluing and counting with your assistance ONLY if necessary.  This is a hands-on project for your child.

We will decorate bags at school for Valentine’s- please do NOT send in boxes.  We have 18 students in our class.  Students need to WRITE THEIR NAME (from) on their cards that they would like to pass out to the class.  PLEASE limit the candy (we are learning about dental health!), instead if you would like to send in a small toy or gift for the children to pass out with their cards, you may.

If you are interested in bringing in a special HEALTHY Valentine’s snack please let me know. Also, if you can donate fruit loops for our 100^th day necklaces please let me know (we will need 2 boxes).

This should be a fun day for the children.  They’ve been practicing counting to 100 so this will be a fun way to celebrate their efforts!  If you have any questions please let us know.

Thank you for your support,

Mrs. Pesci and Mrs. Rawson
