We did fun stuff! Some of us got worried about their 100 stuff. We are not sure about the jar that Ethan brought in.

The sweet smell of marshmallows!

What a great 100th day of school celebration! We had a great time today. The students had fabulous projects and presentations. We did 100 exercises, put together 100-piece puzzles, made structures out of 100 mini-marshmallows and 100 toothpicks, made art out of 100 dots, did 100 math problems, wrote about what we would do with $100, read a book about 100 days of school, and had a 100 day snack! Whew! THANK YOU to everyone who sent in supplies to help make this celebration possible (marshmallows, anyone?) and to the four moms who led the centers- Mrs. Altman, Mrs. Hughes, Mrs. Marr, and Mrs. Roth. We couldn't have done it without you!!!

A picture slide show of the day is coming soon... one of our buddies from Mrs. Gagea's class is going to put together the photos into a presentation for us!

We started on WordMasters. We did lots of math. We also did a Frindle worksheet. We went upstairs for social studies. Our social studies teacher is Mrs. Gagea. We have recess at 10:40, then we have lunch. We are looking forward to free time Friday. School is fun. We leave school at 2:30. We also like to go home.

Night at the Opera

Thanks again to the Altman family for inviting the students from the self-contained gifted program at Desert Cove to Arizona Opera's production of Turnadot! Here's Ms. Flores with a few of the students that attended the opera.

Apologies to Carter... his blog update didn't get posted yesterday. I remember typing it in, but something must have happened when publishing to the website. Here it is again:

We saw a geography bee today. Zoie's brother Griffin won the geography bee. Noel's brother came in second place. Tyler, Connor, and David also competed.
