We celebrated the 100th day of school on Friday! Their favorite activity was writing about when they are 100 years old. We all had a good laugh at ourselves when envisioning what we would look like at 100 years old! 
Thanks to Macy's "Be Book Smart" campaign with Reading is Fundamental, students received free books! 
Our Grinch Day was a success! After reading How the Grinch Stole Christmas,  we played Pin the Heart on the Grinch, ate Grinch "pills" and Who-jello, drank Grinch juice, and watched the original How the Grinch Stole Christmas movie! Checkout our photo album for more pictures of our party. Look in your children's binders for their "You've Been Grinched" picture. Also, thank you to all the families who sent in extra treats and goodies! Have a great winter break and I'll see you on January 7, 2016!
