February 10

On Friday, we will celebrate both 100 Day and Valentines Day.

In the morning, we'll focus on 100 Day. For that, each child is asked to bring a collection of 100 things organized in a way that makes it easy for others to count the items. Hint: We have been organizing things in class in groups of 2, groups of 5, and groups of 10 to make counting faster.

In the afternoon we will celebrate Valentine's Day. The children know that if they bring any Valentines, they must bring one for each classmate. I am not allowed to send home class lists because of privacy issues. Hint: Look closely at the weekly Word Wall Word List. You can also ask your child to copy classmates' names to bring home.

Note that bringing Valentines is completely optional. There will be many activities during the afternoon based on our Valentine's theme.
