Happy 100s Day!


Last Friday was the 100th day of school! Although we had a 2 hour delay, we still had plenty of time to celebrate! We didn't get everything in but we still had a lot of fun counting 100 things! Together, students wrote a list of 100 words they knew!


Here are the kids with their 100 collections from home:






The kids loved sharing their 100 things (except for unwrapped food! We didn't want to spread germs anymore than we already have!) We only have 82 more days together this semester!

A Nasty Bug!

Over the last week a very nasty bug has hit our classroom! All year long, our class has been the envy of first grade, getting perfect attendance often (even having 2 parties!). However, we have had many absences in the last week. Tuesday, after a nice long three day weekend, we had 9 kids out!! Yikes! Not to mention, I had caught the bug and was out too. Thursday it seemed to finally be working its way out of Room 36 when we only had three out. So continue washing hands and getting LOTS of rest this coming weekend. When you play outside, bundle up!!


Hopefully next week we will all be healthy and back to spelling Perfect Attendance for a third time. The only letter we have been able to put up, the P, has been quite lonely lately!

Fractions

Before winter break and right after break, we worked a lot on fractions. First we worked on fractions of a whole. The kids did great with this! Then we moved on to fractions of a set, which can be quite hard! However, they did great!! Check out a few videos of the kids working in groups to show their fractions of a set on a poster:
