Parent-Child Project
Instructions
Our 100th day of school is Monday, February 8th. It is a
kindergarten tradition to celebrate it in grand style. There will be many
hands-on activities on this special day. To begin the 100th day of school, the
students will present their 100's creations to the class. Your child should
collect and count 100 items. At home, he/she should arrange and display the 100
items in an interesting and creative way. The items may range from golf tees to
Barbie shoes to marshmallows. Brainstorm different items with your child. You
and your child will have fun with this problem solving activity. Other ideas
include: paperclips, Cheerios, stickers,
things that are round --- Be creative and have fun learning together!
Valentine’s Day
Each student should fill-out one friendship card
for each child in the class. Cards can
be homemade or purchased. Your child
should practice careful, neat handwriting and practice reading friends’
names. He/she will be reading and passing
out their own cards. It is best to start
early and write and read a few cards each day. Please send cards on or before
Thursday, February 11th.
