Week of January 20, 2020

We will celebrate our 100th day of school on Wednesday, January 29, 2020! We have planned a fun day where the children will experience 100 through many different activities. To help us visualize what 100 objects look like, we are asking that each child decorate a plain t-shirt, necklace, etc. with 100 items on it. Due to the cold weather conditions we ask that all children wear a long-sleeved shirt under their t-shirt so they are more comfortable.

 Some ideas to use as decorations are stickers, googly eyes, fabric paint, cotton balls, buttons, pom-poms, safety pins, stamps, etc. The lighter weight the item, the easier it is to glue, stick, or attach 100 things to the shirt. Please also remember that your child will be wearing the 100 things all day (it will get very uncomfortable to wear 100 heavy things like pennies or crayons on a t-shirt.) Fabric paint is an excellent decoration because it is lightweight and doesn’t fall off.

Have fun creating any shirt that you would like with 100 items on it. Please have your child wear their shirt on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 as we celebrate the 100th day of school!

This year each class will have a fashion show at school to model our 100 collections. Attached to this note you will find a card. Please complete the sentences describing your child’s t-shirt and return the card to school on our 100th day. During the fashion show, your child’s teacher will read the card while your child models his/her creation! Keep in mind that each time school is cancelled due to weather conditions (snow/cold day), our 100th day will be delayed a day.

Please join us on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 from 9:30-10:30 to see the fashion show! (Location to be determined).

About Me

It is my pleasure to welcome you and your child to kindergarten! This will be a wonderful year full of learning and fun, not to mention, an incredible year of change. You will be amazed as you watch your child bloom as a friend, reader, writer, mathematician, scientist, thinker, and so much more! We have so much planned this year, and I cannot wait to get to know you and your child. This is my 7th year as an educator. I have also taught preschool, prior to teaching kindergarten. I have loved each part of my journey, and love teaching. This year I will be teaching Half-Day and Full-Day Kindergarten combined.
