First Day of School

Today we had so much fun learning with Pete the Cat, dancing with Go Noodle and exploring our math tools.  We were even brave enough to do a guided drawing art project and finger painting.  (Finished products to come soon!)  Overall a successful day!  You could say "We ROCKED the first day of school!"

Our inspiration for the day....

(You can order your own copy through your Scholastic book order this month!)

Here is how to connect to Go Noodle if your child wants more dancing and physical movement at home!

100th Day Celebrations!

This week we are celebrating the 100th day of school!  Instead of just celebrating it on the 100th day, we decided that there were just too many fun activities for just one day.

Today we started with reading a book about the 100th day and 100th day collections, "100th Day Worries" by Margery Cuyler.  (Always a favorite of mine.)

Scholastic Books

We then did a writing prompt centered on "If I had $100, I would buy...", as part of a week long writing project/book "The 100 Book".  Thank you to Megan Triplett for the free download of your cute book!  100th Day of School Book

We finished the day creating a 100 monster.  They turned out adorable!  This activity worked on following verbal directions, counting and drawing 10 objects and finally counting groups of 10 to make 100.  Thank you to School and the City for the awesome idea!  You can get the directions for this sweet project at Teachers Pay Teachers. 

More ideas will be coming throughout the week, along with pictures!
