100 Days of Kindergarten!!

We passed a huge milestone last week...100 days of Kindergarten!!

We were lucky enough to have a visit by Zero the Hero!  His favorite number is 0 of course, so he especially loves the number 100!!  He read us a story about the 100th day of Kindergarten, helped us with our calendar and counted with us to 100!

We were then able to make necklaces using 0's...100 of them!  We counted by 10's until we had 100, then strung them on necklaces.  One student even observed that when they were on the necklace, the necklace looked like a 0!

We ended our day by looking up at the sky for Zero...he can fly of course...and got a quick look at the trail he left behind as he flew off to another school to celebrate the number 0!!

The Critter Barn

I just found out that The Critter Barn in Zeeland is free during January and February!  I have never been, but I have heard great things from other teachers and parents!  They have lots of animals and have a great focus on community and sustainability!  Their hours are Mon. - Sat. 10 - 3.  You can get more information at www.critterbarn.org!!
