Celebration!

Dear Families,

There are so many friends who have been sick, I wish you all a healthy evening.  I have been taking a lot of vitamin c in hopes of keeping my immune system strong!

Today was our 100 celebration.  The friends were excited and we had so much fun at each station.  Thank you to all the families who brought in food and items to make this special, and to the families who found time in their day to come in and help us!



Some friends brought in 100 of an item.  We looked at how different 100 can seem.  This is the same quantity, but can seem larger or smaller.  The friends were also bringing up that they may have different weights also.



Aryav brought in 100 flag stickers, and this inspired many friends to draw some of the countries' flags.  I have a feeling that this will continue to be an interest for some weeks to come.




Also some friends counted and tallied how many stuffed animals we brought.  This was an idea that the friends had right off the bat when we began planning this party weeks ago.  We had some absences, so there weren't quite 100.  But friends were excited to see how many stuffed animals we have here!  They were getting good at counting and tallying as they counted to have a documentation piece to reference.  This was a great organizing method.

Another station was the puzzle that Henry's mum brought in that had 100 pieces.  The friends were very excited to work on such a big puzzle.  And they did it!



Stephanie also brought a bunch of cool books about 100.  The friends enjoyed them and it was so cozy to see friends enjoying parent reading time!




And as our exciting treat, Logan's mum brought in a lovely cake that she created for us.  The friends were very excited to "eat their names" off the cake.  Such a detailed and tasty treat!




Thank you to all for your involvement in making your child's experience so rich!  Have a lovely night!  Love, Jennifer
