Hoot #1
Our school recently held a Science Fair. The students worked very hard on their experiments and presentations. The fifth grade students were so proud of their projects, they wanted to share them with their housemates in kindergarten. So we had an impromptu house meeting for these wonderful kids to show off their hard work! Our kinders were so engaged and fascinated by what they were saying!
Hoot #2
We recently celebrated our 100th day of school!! We cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! We had several activities planned for students to do to celebrate being 100 days smarter! Check out some of the things we did in our classrooms!
We made a 100 day snack using Kit Kat Bars and powdered donuts. YUMMY!
We also made a 100 day trail mix by having students count out 10 items of 10 different snacks (Goldfish, M&Ms, marshmallows, pretzels, cheese balls, Cookie Crisp, Whoppers, Bugles, etc.). Somehow, I failed to take pictures of the Rockstars making their trail mix!
We made a 100 day necklace with Froot Loops. I learned that if you tape the string to a paper plate, the cereal doesn't fall off of the end of the string. It also allows for them to stand up and move around without worrying about ripping the taped string from the floor or table. We also made 100 day hats to wear. The hats have 10 strips of paper with 10 dots on each one. They LOVED making and wearing their hats! They didn't want to take them off!!
Theses Jitterbugs we super excited to show off their 100 cup tower! The cups are small drinking cups. I find that these are easier to store. We did several 100 Day centers. These do not take place in isolation. It all happens at the same time.Yes, it is a little chaotic, but it is organized chaos. The students used their check list to hop for one activity to another. This allows them to be responsible for the order of their experience.

Here we are counting 100 items for snack.
On the floor students are making their 100 day hat. We were so busy, I forgot to take pictures of them actually in their hats!!
As you can see, they are very busy and very engaged!
At the yellow table, students drew a picture of what they look like now that they are 100 days smarter!
This Week's Holler...
This week's holler goes out to our students!!! These Jitterbugs and Rockstars are 100 days smarter and it shows! They have become more responsible. They are more willing to take a chance and they are succeeding. We couldn't me more proud!!
