Teacher Talk: Kindergarten's First 100 Days

Kindergarten celebrated the 100th day of school on Feb. 5th.

Kindergarten 100 Days Photo Set

The pictures show a variety of things we did that day:

• Counting to 100 by 1's and 10's
• Writing our numbers from 1 to 100
• Sorting and counting 100 pieces of cereal for graphing(We enjoyed a snack after graphing)
• We wrote and illustrated a book entitled 100 days in Kindergarten. The children each wrote a page and drew a picture to go with it.

Thank you to Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. Boatman and the Kindergarten class for their Teacher Talk submission. Grade = 100%!

Today the class is studying science, specifically the workings of bacteria and other germs. The 2nd graders are a wonderful, studious group of young people. Thanks for being in today's spotlight!

Teacher Talk: Sister Mary Social Studies Project

Martin Luther King had a dream. St. Ethelreda teachers had a dream. First graders, too, have a dream for what they would like to achieve when they grow up.

Each student interviewed one of the staff and shared their experience in the class. Then they each formed their own dream for their future and typed it using the computer.
