What We’ve Learned in 100 Days of School

The kindergarten year is filled with so many wonderful discoveries.

The amount of learning and growth that takes place is amazing, and we have the great pleasure of watching our students blossom into kind friends, creative thinkers, and budding readers and writers throughout the year.

Our pre-K and kindergarten classes celebrated the 100th day of school on Wednesday, February 16. This is a fun way for us to practice counting to 100 together. It is also a time to practice our newly developing presentation skills as our students share their posters of 100 items they have collected. They did a wonderful job showing off their creations and explaining how they grouped their items while counting.

But most importantly, it is a great opportunity for us to reflect with our students on how much they have learned. This week, we asked them, “What is the most important thing you have learned in the first 100 days of kindergarten?”

Here is what they shared:
