Today we celebrated Chinese New Year in our class and we did a lot of studying about the history of Chinese New Year!!!  We started the day with a Chinese New Year word search for morning work.  The kids loved all the New Year's Words...

After lunch we read some fun books about Chinese New Year and made our Dragon Headbands.

                    

The headbands turned out so cute! Check them out:

We had a great day learning all about the Chinese Traditions and the start of their new year!

My Students Are 100 Days Smarter!!!

Well today we celebrated the 100th day of school and we were busy bees trying to get it all done before our pizza/movie party this afternoon!  This morning we read the room and wrote 100 words that we could read! The kids did a fabulous job and got to have a small treat as they finished up!  After a nice and breezy 70 degree recess {in January...and only in Missouri...as we like to say,} we created our 100th Day Headbands.  The kiddos decorated colored sentence strips with 100 decorations and then we stapled on our party hats...SO cute! 

You can find the template for the super cute party hat in my Celebrating 100 Days Station Pack on my TpT Store.  Here is the Link:

P.S. It is on sale through tonight!

After lunch we came back and did our party graph, played our roll and add games from my newest freebie and read some of my favorite 100th Day of School Books!

At the end of the day the class got to enjoy some yummy pizza and cookies in honor of our 100th Day!  We had an amazing day and topped it off with a Disney Classic!

So day 100 goes down and the books and we are officially on the count down to second grade!
