Celebrating 100 Days of School

We've been making our way through the 7 days of creation and studying about all the different creations. We recently finished up the creatures of the sea and birds. More on our nests later. A few weeks ago, we celebrated 100 days of school. First, N and I brainstormed a list of activities the day before.

We started our day by eating pancakes in the shape of 100.

shot 100 hoops (with T-Max's help!) and jumped 100 times.

We also wrote "100 days ago I couldn't ..., but now I can..."

She filled in the blank and wrote,
"rebusentis" = read a sentence (the "b" is supposed to be a "d")
and "broahrt" = draw a heart (the "b" is supposed to be a "d").

We are working on discerning between these two letters. We use the visual of the word "bed" which both looks like a bed looking at it from the side and helps her to remember which is the "b" and "d". Very helpful for her! She didn't use any spaces between words yet, but is writing very phonetically.

N made a list of what she would buy if she had $100.
"a dres" = a dress
"a bik" = a bike
"a noo mine girl calr" = a new mini girl calendar

We had a great day!
