Happy 100th Day of School!

Happy 100th Day of School! Today was quite an exciting day in first grade as we reached the 100 day! We had tons of fun celebrating this milestone! 

We began our day with Mass. Today Fr. Brian encouraged us to always keep that child-like innocence as we get older. After Mass, he blessed our throats. 

After a short time with our Faith Families sharing stories, it was time to begin the celebration in first grade! We began by creating a self portrait of ourselves when we are 100 years old. We then wrote about what we would do if we were 100! 

Next, these first 100 days were no "prob-llama". We wrote about something we learned these first 100 days and something we want to learn in the next 100 days. We added our writing to a picture of a llama. They look awesome: 

After lunch, the students had to find 100 hearts hidden around the classroom. As they did, they had to put them in order from 1-100. That proved to be no problem whatsoever. 

Finally, the students were divided into groups and rotated between stations. At each station they were tasked to build or create something using that object there. Each station had 100 pieces to use. They created things using marshmallows, linking cubes, plastic cups, Popsicle sticks, and pattern blocks. Here are some of their designs: 

We ended our day by going to the annual 8th Grade vs. Teacher volleyball game. The 8th grade played hard and kept it close, but the teachers prevailed once again! 

Thank you to everyone for a fabulous week. We are back to be normal next week! Enjoy your weekend!
