Tuesday was a lot of fun. We combined concepts of 100 into many of our subjects. We began the day with cutting 100 squares to create a mosaic, we read our story in reading in "elderly" voices, and did brain breaks throughout the day by counting to 100. In math, we used candy hearts (thanks to Alexis' family) to sort and create fractions such as 3/8 of my candy hearts are green. Next we did fraction addition such as 3/8 (green) plus 2/8 (pink) equals 5/8.
As a math extension, we borrowed Mrs. Stouts boom whackers to play notes in 4/4 time and discussed how musicians read notes such as the eighth, quarter, half, and whole. We discussed the difference between a 100 equal parts as a whole and 4 equal parts as a whole. This was certainly a loud and fun way to learn.

On Tuesday evening, four of our students participated in the Talent Show. Way to go Isabel, Makayla, Maddison & Sophie. Such talent!
Friendship
On Thursday afternoon, we exchanged our affirmation notes/valentines with one another. I was so impressed with the amount of thought and creativity students took to create unique cards. This is my first year of teaching in which every card given was different! The students did a super job reminding one another of good friendship practices. At the very end of the day, we played a riddle game (thanks to Katie's family) that got us thinking, working together, and laughing out-loud.
Thank you
