Yea for the 100th Day!

Today we celebrated our 100th day of kindergarten! We started off our day coloring in 100 things on the number 100. We wore our 100 day hats, 100 bead necklaces and revisited our 100 mats. We had 3 students make it into the 100% club for ST Math. We looked at everyone's 100 collections then we talked about what 100 things we would like to do at our morning meeting.  We counted to 100 when we made our 100 fingerprints. It was a busy day! Tomorrow we will complete our 100 activities by scribbling for 100 seconds and writing about our 100th day!

We also started our week long unit on Dr. Seuss. Today we wore our pajamas to school and read the Sleep Book. Tomorrow we will read Fox in Sox. Students are invited to wear mismatched socks to school.

ST Math Update

Our class has completed 60% of ST Math! Way to go Room 101! Some of our students have made it to 100%! Congratulations to Evan, Owen C., Owen M. and Sophia. Some of our students need to focus a bit more on ST Math to ensure that all students will be at 100% by the end of the school year. 

Art Class with Miss Fallon

Before vacation we had a special Art class with Pine Glen's Art Teacher Miss Fallon. We went down to her art room to create a flower for the Pine Glen Square One Art Fundraiser. Miss Fallon has the wonderful ability to have the students strive to be the best artist they can be! Our students LOVED their art class with Miss Fallon and the students are hoping to go back to another art class before next year. Please keep an eye out for this special art work to come home!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The students in Room 101 had a wonderful day! So many smiles and kind words were exchanged. The students did a terrific job creating their Special Valentines. We were impressed that they were all able to keep the secret for over a month! We had many creative Valentine's this year from dream catchers, t-shirts, homemade crayons, wall hanging, bird house, homemade book and photo puzzle.  Nice work Room 101! All the students in Room 101 felt special today!

After we exchanged our Special Valentine's we went to the computer lab and Mr. Donoff had a couple Valentine activities for the students to do on the chrome books. We took a minute to take a class photo. The students looked so beautiful and handsome all dressed up for our special day!

After our time in the lab we went back to our classroom for our Victorian Luncheon.  We had a delicious luncheon with the ambiance of candlelight!  Students practiced appropriate dining conversation and demonstrated terrific table manners! Thank you to the Pine Glen kitchen staff. Our luncheon was a success thanks to Carol and Kathy for helping to make this day possible for us!

After our luncheon the students had time to open their class Valentine's. The students enjoyed reading all the notes and cards they received from their classmates.

We ended our day with a journal entry about our day for each students' memory books and the students worked on ST Math. It was a busy day. I think we will all be tired tomorrow!

Room 101 Update!

Snow Day

Today - Monday, February 13 is a snow day! The snow appears to be good snowman making snow. We haven’t sent home our instructional writing yet, but the students in Room 101 wrote directions on how to build a snowman. Please ask your child the steps to build a snowman. If you do happen to build a snowman please email the pictures to Mrs. Parnell so we can share with the class! These writing projects will be sent home this week.

Valentine’s Day

Tomorrow - Tuesday, February 14th we will have our Victorian Valentine Celebration.

NO lunches are needed!

                      Please remember to bring your

                  Special Valentine to school tomorrow!

Remember we will be dressing “fancy” for this event!  Remember your manners…

If your child has purchased/made individual valentines, he/she is welcome to bring them to school tomorrow too.

Note:  We will celebrate with our luncheon and gift exchange even if there is a delay on Tuesday!

100th Day

Due to our snow day weather cancellations, our 100th day will be postponed until after the February vacation.  Stay tuned for a special note to go home in backpacks later this week.

Thank for your flexibility as we compete with Mother Nature!

Super Bowl Predictions

To cheer on the Patriots we did a few fun activities Friday afternoon. We made Patriot helmet headbands, we did a few team building cheers, we made predictions of what we think the Super bowl score will be and who will WIN. We also made up our own victory dances! Be sure to ask your child to demonstrate their victory dance when the Patriots score their touchdowns! (We did have a few Falcon fans, and they were a little upset with our Patriots party). We all need to remember it is just a game. I hope our Kindergarten students are not too tired on Monday.
