Happy Valentines Day!!!

Valentines Day was AWESOME in our classroom!

 

We started our day with working on how to write instructions.  Instead of just writing instructions for something we do we wrote instructions of how to make a Valentine like the one we were making :).  Each child go to make a Valentine for someone and as they made it they wrote the instructions of how they did it! 

 

 

Once they were all done we walked around an gave our friends glows about their Valentines by writing what we liked about the Valentine on a post-it note!

 

Then everyone picked a name and the name of the person you picked got your Valentine!

 

Later in the day we had our party!  Our first task was to decorate our Valentine bags to put all of our treats from our friends in them :).

 

Then we got to play a round of Valentines Bingo :)

 

And then of course decorate some yummy Valentines cookies!

 

And last, but maybe the most important, we play an active game to get some of our energy out before support :).

 

Overall it was a great day!!! 

The 100th Day of School!!!

We had an AMAZING 100th day of school :).  Everyone was so excited and eager to wear their crowns they made.  We went to the hallway for a 1st grade parade to share our crowns with the whole grade!!!

 

 

Then it was time for 100 themed exercises!  We counted to 100 by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's all while dancing and moving to the songs.

 

Then it was time to see if 100 licks would get us to the middle of a mini tootsie roll pop!  The answer to that question is...NO!  We licked 100 times and still no one reached the tootsie roll.  Of course we kept licking until the center was reached.

 

Then we got to work on our 100 themed centers.  We made 100 fruit loop necklaces, wrote about how it would feel to be 100, make a 100th day bookmark, and used 100 cups to build!

 

In the middle of all the 100 themed fun Zero the Hero showed up to bring us a 0 treat!  It turned out that our Zero the Hero was really Pouncer and he brought us DONUTS!  Thanks for visiting Pouncer!!!

 

At the end of the day we used the numbers that make up the number 100 to create a picture for the AMAZING 100 book!

 

Overall it was a great day and lots of 100 fun was had!
