100th Day of School

Today was the 100th day of school here at Highland. We celebrated in style by dressing like we were 100 years old. We did tons of activities that revolve around the number 100. We used our imaginations to make pictures using the number 100. We made 100th day trail mix. Each student put ten groups of ten different snacks into a ziplock bag to make a total of 100 snacks. We wrote about what we would be like or do when we are 100 and made self-portraits of us at 100.

Election Day Activities

Although we wrote these Election Day writing pieces a couple months ago, I wanted to share some of the wonderful work that our students had done. The kindergartners made promises of what they would do if elected President.
