Last week several classrooms celebrated the 100th
day of school. The students completed all sorts of math activities with the
number 100, including counting to 100 by 1s, 5s, and 10s, singing songs,
drawing pictures of what they would look like when they were 100, bringing in a
collection of 100 items, reading a variety of books celebrating the 100th
day, and much, much more. In the picture below you can see students in Mrs.
Augello’s kindergarten class donning their 100th day glasses and hats. The hats
have 10 strips of paper on them and on each strip of paper there are 10
stickers, for a total of 100 stickers in all.
Also last week the 1st grade class put on a great
assembly. They taught the school about February’s character trait of honesty
and trust. Many students told stories about what happened when they weren’t
honest. They concluded the assembly with a flash mob dance that included the
entire first grade class and several teachers. I don’t know how they pulled off
the practices without my knowing – it was quite a surprise.
The math words of the week are pictograph (M), bar graph
(T), line plot (W), prime number (Th), and composite number (F).
The March PTA meeting will be held tonight in the library at
6:30. Other dates to keep in mind for this month include our upcoming 4th
Annual Science Fair and 1st Family Math Night, which will be held at
East Hill from 6:30 – 8:00 on Tuesday, March 18th. Also, please note
that Friday, March 21st will be a half day for students. Dismissal
will be at 11:30.
Finally, please remember that school does not begin until
9:00. Please do not drop your children off before 9:00 as they are unable to enter
the building until school opens. As you are aware, it has been exceptionally
cold this winter so we don’t want the students outside any longer than they
need to be. Thank you for your cooperation!
