The 100th Day of School!

Today, we celebrated 100 days in first grade!  During the morning meeting, we chit-chatted about ways that we are 100 days smarter.

We read this book,

 made these 100-years-old portraits,

began brainstorming and writing a bucket list of five things to do before we are 100, had a festive 100th day snack and finished our crowns,

tried stacking 100 cups,

and created marshmallow-toothpick structures (50 toothpicks and 50 marshmallows) with our 4th grade buddies!

We will finish up the fun with a few additional activities tomorrow!

That Big, Comfy Chair!

One of our first grade friends recently earned the principal's chair for the day.  He is on the left.  His big brother was excited to give him a congratulatory squeeze!

Monthly Super Citizen Awards...

Congratulations!

Filling buckets everywhere!

The 1st grader in the middle has been busy showing bucket filling around the halls and within the walls of our classroom!  Nice work!

Building character through song!

At our lighthouse meeting last week, a parent (Mr. Chatwin) and teacher (Ms. DeMario), presented a new school song that was written and recorded for our enjoyment.  We practiced singing along and tried to remember some of the words.  It is a catchy tune!

Thanks Mr. Chatwin and Ms. DeMario!

Caught being kind!

Our current character education pillar word is--kindness.

These two classmates were caught being kind to others.  Going above and beyond kindness expectations!

Way to go!
