Valentine's Day and 100th Day Celebration

Hello, families!

Last week, we celebrated Valentine's Day by highlighting friendship and appreciation of each other. Ms. Castillo and I hosted a waffle party during work time. We also celebrated the 100th day of school. We are 100 days smarter!!! The children connected this to our calendar work and math activities with the ten frame. They enjoyed counting 10 10's to make their 100 snack. We also created a trail mix of our extra treats to share with the whole school. The kindergarteners hosted this celebration.

We are also very thankful for our parent and student volunteers that continue to support us. We love that you are able to come visit and help us! Our next celebration is... Mardi Gras!!! Let the good times roll!

See you at school!

Change Makers

Hello, Room 101!

For the past two weeks, our class have been learning about important change makers in America and the world. We have been discussing what makes a person a change maker and how can we all be one. I am so proud of all the ideas the children have shared. Ask your child how s/he is a change maker. Our future is in good hands! =)

We also welcomed two new friends in our classroom community: Madison and Lydia. Please help Ms. Castillo and I welcome them and their families to our room.

Last week, we had our Chinese New Years Parade at Suder. It was an awesome experiencing the whole school participating in the event.
