Hi! What a busy week! We celebrated our 101st day of First Grade and Valentines Day. We also had Flex Friday which was fun, school wide, outside activities! Thank you to the PTO for providing hot cocoa and smores while we were out there!
On our 101st Day we became Dalmatians. All of our activities had to do with the number 101. We worked together to find 101 Hershey Kisses. We did math with Bluey fruit snacks. We made Dalmatian ears and painted our noses. We had dog tags that said 101 days smarter. We wrote about things we would want 101 of. We did lots of STEM activities. We made dog houses with 101 Legos, a dog park with 101 pattern blocks, dog bowls with 101 Plus Plus blocks and a dog parking garage (with ramps to get in and out) with 101 Magna Tiles. We even figured out there were dog bones in the Guess Box. It was a super fun day!
The kids were so cute opening their Valentines. Everyone was very thankful and happy. They also loved making their own ice cream sundae. Thank you parents for sending in the stuff for our party!
Today, we watched the 7th and 8th grade basketball team play against Veazie staff. Teachers won by two points. Ask your child about the game. We then went outside for Flex. The outside activities consisted of sledding, snow volcanoes, bubbles, forts, smores and hot cocoa. It was a great way to head into vacation.
I hope you all enjoy your winter break. Please, make sure your child keeps reading over vacation.
