The 100th Day of school has arrived! What a bee-zy day. The children did an awesome job displaying their collections. Grades K-5 came to visit and we treated them with a cupcake. I'll have pictures to post soon. We traveled to Lincoln School to celebrate with all of our first graders in the district. We have 97 first graders in our school district! We counted, sang songs, listened to a story about teaching a dog 100 words, performed 100 exercises, and made new friends. I'm very proud to announce that all 20 students wrote numbers to 1,000 and were recognized today! Cheers to you Number Club winners! I hope your child shared the events of our day with you when they got home. I'm sure the children are in bed early tonight!
Please remind your child to dress western on Thursday. We will celebrate Kansas Day. The 4th graders have invited us to their "Happy Birthday Kansas" play in the morning. Do you know how old our state will be? Ask your child to tell you.
Also, a reminder that Friday we will read at the Nursing Home. The children will need to be dresssed warm with hats, gloves and good warm coats. Please encourage your child to bring books to share with their reading buddy.
In closing, THANK YOU PARENTS for all the cupcakes you baked! We had enough for grades K-5 and extras to treat those who helped us get ready for this special day. I even have extra cupcakes left for snacks on Wednesday for the first graders! THANK YOU for all you have done to make the past 100 days in First Grade so wonderful! Your support and time are invaluable in our partnership!

It is our 99th day of school! Today we numbered 99 balloons which are hanging all over the classroom. Balloon number 100 contains a special prize which will be awarded tomorrow during our celebration. This weekend the children completed a homework assignment titled, "All About Me in 2009". This page will be placed in a time capsule which will be opened when the children are Seniors at their baccalaureate in the year 2020! We will also place many other fun treasures and memories into the time capsule tomorrow. In the hallway the children have displayed their drawings of what they think they will look like when they are 100 years old. 17 children have made the 1,000 Number Club and will be awarded a prize. They have worked hard and deserve a special award. Tomorrow I will be taking many pictures and hope to post a few.

Thank you parents for offering to bake cupcakes for our 100 Day Celebration on Tuesday. The children are looking forward to this day. The children seem to have many good ideas of what to bring for their 100 collections. If your child would like to purchase a Flyer shirt ($8.00) please let me know and I'll get that ordered for you.
The 1,000 Number Club is growing! 3 more children joined the club on Friday. Several children brought home papers to work on over the weekend so that they can get caught up. The children are also trying to write 100 words they can read. They have had many opportunities to work on this in class, and many have achieved this goal. Friday we made a chain of 100 things we have learned in First Grade. It was fun to watch the children work together as we glued and linked all their ideas together. We have the chain hanging in the classroom. Thank you for supporting your child at home! You are A+ parents!

Our First Graders have been involved with a counting project since the beginning of school. Each school day we add a number to our school day counting line. On the 100th day our class is having a “100 Day Celebration” to recognize that we have been in school for 100 days. On Tuesday, January 27, I would like each child to bring 100 things from home to display for the classes that will visit and our special visitors. For example, 100 pennies, M&M’s, paper clips, Fruit Loops, buttons, chocolate chips, old stamps, marshmallows, legos, bubble gum, sweet tarts, hair clips, baseball cards, puzzle pieces. Each child is expected to have something to share. All of our activities that day will be centered on the number 100. The children will be displaying their collections in the morning between 8:45 - 9:45. You are more than welcome to drop in and visit.
In the afternoon the First Graders will be taking a trip to Clay Center. We are meeting with all the First Graders in the district for some fun 100 day activities. We are leaving at 12:50 p.m. and will return before school is out. Please make sure your child dresses comfortable this day. If your child has a flyer school shirt they might want to wear it.
Thanks again for your support of 100 day. We are looking forward to a wonderful day!

It's Inauguration Day! A day in history I hope the children will remember. Today we talked about what makes this day so special. Please ask your child to tell you what they learned about our new president. If you have time turn on the news tonight and watch the highlights of this day.
We will not have a new list of spelling words this week. We are taking the Unit 3 Reading Skills test. This will take several days and I didn't want to plan to much for the children and stretch them thin. Remember to help them practice the vocabulary words for the word test. There are 30 words that will be tested.
In math today we are working on correcting telling time papers. The children need to remember to draw the hour hand correctly when the time is half past the hour. We will also review the months of the year. A tested skill is to be able to tell the months and what month comes next. We will take the telling time chapter test this week.
Look for more news on the 100 Day celebration. I will send a note home on Friday and post a message. We will celebrate on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
