100^th day project- due Feb 6th

Last Friday, 1/13, I have sent out the instructions for our project for this month. I have included examples from the previous students as well.

On February 7^h, 2023, Tuesday, we will be celebrating the 100^th day of school. We will be celebrating with many “100” activities throughout the day.

For our first-grade project this month, your child will be creating a “100” collage to share with the class. This is an opportunity for families to work together and be as creative as they can be by making a collage to display 100 items.

Directions:

1. Brainstorm ideas with your child. Google and Pinterest have lots of ideas, or see the attached examples below.
2. Gather 100 items to create your design on the collage. Use a 22x28in poster or foam board as a base.
3. When creating your collage, please securely fasten all objects. I recommend using lightweight items and hot glue.
4. With your help, have your child create their own design.
5. Students will bring their projects on Monday, Feb 6^th to school.

I will be grading the following:

Rubric	Points
Following instructions	10
Presentation	10
Creativity	30
Total	50

I am excited and can’t wait to see all their awesome designs!

*Please see attachment below for some examples.

STAR TESTING this week- Thursday, 1/19

On Thursday, our first grade will be taking their 2^nd STAR test. This test will measure their knowledge from the 1^st trimester. Please make sure that your child had enough sleep and healthy breakfast before coming to school. Students will be using our school iPad to do the test. It is recommended for students to wear headphones to avoid distraction. If your child has headphones that is compatible to an iPad, please make sure to bring it to school.

First Grade Survey

 I welcome feedback on how your year is going and how we can make the first grade a positive growth year together.
