***If you are out & about and happen to think of us, our classroom would love:  Treasure Box Prizes ***

***Our Scholastic Book Order is due Friday, January 23rd. Get those orders in if you would like to order winter books or books for Valentine's Day.***

***To help us celebrate the 100th day of school, we would like for all kiddos to wear something that has 100 things on it.  Some examples may include a hat, a visor, a t-shirt, a vest, socks, etc.  You can paint 100 items on, pin them on, glue them on, or sew them on.  There are no limits with how creative you can be on this activity.  The only guideline is that it must be something the kiddos can wear to school on Friday, January 30. ***

*** One of the fun 100th day of school activities is to count 100 items and glue them to a chart.  With your kiddo, please count out 100 items at home and place them in a plastic bag with your kiddo's name on it and send it to school by Thursday, January 29.  We will be using the contents at school.  Some examples of items may be: beans, popcorn kernels, small buttons, small pebbles, rice, lentils, noodles, stickers, pretzels, etc.
