The 100th Day and Valentine's Day

Last week was a very busy week!  We started the week off with a bang when we spent most of the day Monday celebrating the 100th Day of School!  

We did all sorts of fun activities with the number 100, like write about what we could buy if we had $100 and draw pictures of what we think we will look like when we are 100 years old!  

We also counted out 100 M&Ms and read lots of books about the 100th Day of School!  I can't believe we have already been in school for over half the school year!  Right after our 100th Day celebrations we turned right around and celebrated Valentine's Day on Tuesday with lots of fun activities, but I think everyone's favorite part was making their mailboxes for their Valentines from their friends!  They turned out looking awesome and I hope everyone enjoyed getting a little love from each of their friends!

 Everyone was very exited to pass out their Valentines to their friends!

 It was such a fun week and I am so proud of how much growth and independence each and every one of my Valentines have made over the past 100 days of school! 

Park Rangers, Penguins, and Groundhogs

It has been a very busy couple of weeks in Room 150!  I can hardly believe we are creeping very close to the 100th Day of school coming up next Monday, the 13th, already!  With that being said, I wanted to share some exciting things we have been working on in our class over the past two weeks!

 We were so lucky to have some very special guest visit last week to tell us all about the different types of animals and their habitats who call the Blue Ridge home!

 This was truly an amazing experience for us to get up close to parts of Animals that we would otherwise never be able to explore!

We have also been learning all about Penguins during our Non-Fiction unit of study during our reading block!  So, we did the most adorable directed drawling sample of some of the cutest penguins I have ever seen!  Way to go, Miss Jones' Class!  Great listening skills to complete your directed drawings!

We also had a great day celebrating Groundhog Day last Thursday!  Everyone loved learning all about the tradition and then guessing and graphing our guesses!  They also looked pretty adorable in their Goundhog hats!!!

 Miss Jones' happy little Groundhogs!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and I can't wait to see all my sweet Groundhogs bright and early in the morning for breakfast in our classroom!  Have a great week!
