100's Day/banana split party (math drills)

Don't forget to dress up like you are 100 years old  - Thursday, Feb 3rd and bring 100 pennies for the "Change Angels"!

We are practicing math fact drills in addition (0-9).  I noticed some students are getting stuck on adding 2's.  You may want to practice with your child, so they are not adding on their fingers and know the facts automatically.  Practice makes perfect, and we are doing the drills everyday for 2 minutes.  At the end of the year or whenever everyone has completed their facts we are going to have a banana split party!  If your child at least completes their 2's - they will be able to have a banana.  So far, the students are doing a great job and hope everyone makes it to the ice cream (4's).

Also, our Valentines Ball is on Feb 10th at 12:30.  We are going to have a small party in our room and exchange valentine cards while having snacks and then go in the flex area for a 1st grade dance.  Everyone is going to look awesome dressed in your "Sunday Best"!
