Our school recently celebrated the 100th day of school, and it was a day full of fun, learning, and big smiles—especially in kindergarten! Many of our kindergarten students marked the occasion by dressing up as if they were 100 years old, complete with wigs, canes, and some very creative “100-year-old” style. Throughout the day, students participated in a variety of engaging activities centered around the number 100, helping them build math skills while celebrating how far they’ve come this school year. It was a wonderful way to recognize 100 days of learning, growth, and hard work!

Mrs. Toth’s kindergarten students put on their construction hats as they explored building structures using our new FOSS Science resources! Students experimented with different designs and even discussed how the sun and shade can impact their structures. It was a fun, hands-on way for our youngest learners to think like engineers and scientists.
