Weekly Reminders


Parents,

We have a busy week ahead of us! It's going to be fun though! Here are just a few reminders...


1.. Next Wednesday, February 6th is the 100th day of school, which means tons of FUN!!! We would love to have your child dress up for the day! Your child can either dress up like he/she is 100 years old or create a shirt that has 100 things on it!

If your child would like to dress up like he/she is 100 years old, here are some suggestions:
*Girls: Printed skirt, pearls, eyeglasses on the nose, sweater, red lipstick, wig or curled hairstyle, gray hairspray (baby powder works well for gray hair as well), knee high stockings, large purse, scarf, walking cane, etc.
*Boys: Buttoned down shirt, flannel shirt, suspenders, tie, eyeglasses, drawn on mustache or beard, gray hairspray or baby powder, walking cane, etc.

If your child would like to make a t-shirt that has 100 things glued on it, here are some suggestions...
*You can write or paint 100 Days of School and glue 100 buttons, beads, cotton balls, etc. The trick is to keep the item as light as possible. You don't want to use anything heavy like pennies because it will wear the t-shirt down. Be as creative as you want!! :)

It’s going to be a fun filled day and we are looking forward to celebrating 100 days of school!! :) If you have any questions, please let me know and I can help! :)

2. We are also in need of some things for the 100th day to make trail mix. Our class is responsible for Chex Mix and Goldfish. To make it easy so that we can have enough, I’m asking for the girls to bring a bag of Chex Mix and the boys to bring a box of Goldfish. Thank you for your help!


3. 100 items for Science--your child will need to collect 100 items to fill a brown paper sack. These items can come from around the house! For example, you can use pennies, paperclips, macaroni, beans, etc.  ANYTHING GOES--as long as it fits inside the sack. 

Please help your child count these items and place them in the sack. Next, your child will need to come up with 2 clues about their 100 items. They can write these clues on the slip located on the bottom of the note that came home on Friday. :)
