100th Day of School

Yesterday Kayden's classroom celebrated the 100th day of school! Isn't it great to see celebrate & school in the same sentence......it's what learning should be all about!
CELEBRATING SCHOOL!!

I am reminded every time I go into a classroom what GREAT respect teachers are owed! Mrs Smith did the best job at making this day fun for the kids but that fun also involved learning!

The kids counted out 10 pieces of 10 different snacks
I am constantly in LOVE with this girls imagination: "a bear lifting weights"
They sat on their squares & did various activities involving 100.....reading 100 words, jumping 100 times, standing on 1 foot for 100 seconds.....
*do you spy my child giving the "quit taking pictures eye?*
Prior to coming to school yesterday each child was given an assignment to decorate a shirt or hat with 100 things.....their choice! Mrs Smith then had a fashion show for each child to walk the runway & show off their personal designs!
I had thought it would be fun to glue 100 eyes on a shirt which was promptly bashed down with "that's NOT fashion mom"! 100 diamonds instead was deemed "fashion"! Heart on the pocket was her idea & doing!
We then visited grades 1-5 to wish everyone "Happy 100 days of school"!!
The day ended with a group photo.....much like trying to take a family picture...HARD!
So grateful for a school where fun & school coincide!
