Week of February 21 - 25, 2022

At HCA on Tuesday, we celebrated the 100th day of school!  In First Grade, we celebrated in a couple different ways.  We read a story about the 100th day of school, shared what we have liked the best about the past 100 days, and did some 100 day crafts.  Our favorite was making

100 day necklaces!  

The students used 10 frames to count out 100 Fruit Loops.  After they had 100 Fruit Loops counted and ready to go, the students began stringing the Fruit Loops onto their yarn. Some Fruit Loops may have been sampled along the way!  The students added counting markers to separate the groups of tens and show how many Fruit Loops were on the necklace at specific points.

Once the Fruit Loops were all added, we tied the ends together to make some very tasty and sweet smelling jewelry!
