Dear Parents, February 12, 2016
We are coming up on a very important holiday in first grade. Next week we will celebrate 100 Days of School! One hundred is a special number for first grade. We have spent a lot of time studying 100, building 100, un-building 100 and counting to 100.
We have planned a fun day where the children will experience 100 through many different activities. To help us visualize what 100 objects look like, we are asking that each child decorate a plain t-shirt with 100 items on it. Students will wear this shirt over their uniform on the 100th day, February 19th.
Some ideas to use as decorations are stickers, googly eyes, fabric paint, cotton balls, buttons, pom-poms, safety pins, stamps, etc. The lighter weight the item, the easier it is to glue, stick, or attach 100 things to the shirt. Please also remember that your child will be wearing the 100 things all day (it will get very uncomfortable to wear 100 heavy things like pennies or crayons on a t-shirt.) Fabric paint is an excellent decoration because it is lightweight and doesn’t fall off. Have fun creating any shirt that you would like with 100 items on it.
As of today our 100th day is February 19th.
Please keep in mind that each time school is cancelled due to weather conditions (snow/cold day), our 100th day will be delayed a day.
Feel Free to get started! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Ms. Tynan
