*Hundredth Day of School*
Can you believe February 21 will be the hundredth day of school!? That went fast! We will be concocting 100th Day Trail Mix, among many other hundred-themed activities, to celebrate. We ask that students please bring in a small-sized, non-nut snack item to contribute (roughly 2 or 3 cups should be perfect), as well as an egg carton cut down to 10 cups (serving as a ten frame) if possible. Students will measure out ten pieces of ten different snacks to enjoy a trail mix of exactly 100! Thank you so much for your help and contributions. The students love to be math chefs!
As part of our upcoming hundredth day celebration, grade ones will be creating artistic place mats using exactly 100 shapes. We would greatly appreciate help cutting out the shapes for next Tuesday. This is a take-home project! If you are interested in cutting out one or two sets of shapes, please email Leah ([email protected]) and they will be sent home tomorrow with your child. Thank you so much for considering!
Some ideas for ingredients include, but are not limited to:
- mini pretzels
- pumpkin seeds
- raisins
- dried cranberries or other dried fruits
- banana chips
- goldfish crackers
- larger sized breakfast cereals (like shreddies or corn bran)
- dry roasted beans or peas
