This Week’s Homework:

Our 100th day celebration is right around the corner (Tuesday, February 4th). I have some fun activities planned for your children as well as a special art project for you to help your child with at home over the next two weeks.

In lieu of the regular weekly homework for the weeks of 1/21 and 1/27, I would like you to help your child create a work of art using 100 objects (see previous post for examples).

I would love to have the art projects displayed on the 100th day, so they will be due Friday, January 31st (2 weeks from Friday).

Also, we need 1 or 2 more parent volunteers to help with 100th day centers Tuesday, February 4th from 1:30-2:30. Please let me know if you are interested!

Thanks! You're the best!!
