This week we celebrated both St. Valentine’s Day and the 100th Day of School. We also started our Valentine’s Day celebration by learning a little bit about St. Valentine. St. Valentine was killed for celebrating the Mass and marrying people. In honor of Valentine’s day, we did some writing about love that we turned into a new class book. We each created a page about all of the things that we love. We also did some Valentine’s math with a box of candy hearts. We did some estimating, patterning, adding, graphing, and measuring. In the end, we got to eat some! On Tuesday, we had a St. Valentine’s Party. On Wednesday, we celebrated the 100th Day of School. Our 100th day was packed full of fun new activities. It started with Ms. Torborg hiding 100 Starbursts all around the room. Each piece of candy had a special number we had to identify after we found it. We created a 100th day crown with 100 dots and made a necklace with 100 fruit loops. We also created a picture of ourselves when we are 100 years old and then we made a list of things that we want to do before we are 100 years old (a bucket list).
