One Hundred Days Wiser

Today we marked the 100th day of school: the halfway point, the middle of our journey together. It was a day full of activity and numbers as we each measured, weighed, and counted one hundred items. Here are some moments from the day...

This was actually yesterday. Sam is recording day 99, in anticipation of tomorrow.

And here she is today, carefully laying out 100 squares of toilet paper. Brilliant!  She certainly had the longest line!

Not to mention the most unique object.

Making lines with 100 things.

100 buttons

100 pennies: longer than Tommy!
Nic's elastics measured over a metre.


The results from the weight, length, and area challenge.

Looking forward to the next 100 days! 
Stay Safe and Warm,

Celebrating Friendship and Love

Although we were still stuck indoors, we made the most of it this week. We took the time to start each day with compliments for each other, and started a "Random Acts of Kindness" board where we can all show how meaningful these little gestures are. We wrote thoughtful notes and drew pictures for each other, sneaking over to Ben's as soon as it was -24 to send them in the mail.  We ended the week with a Valentine's Day celebration, dancing, and sweet treats. All brought to you by the colour red...

Finding the Area of a shape with cinnamon hearts

Mr McT gave us candy today, so we baked it into our cookies. This seemed to make up for the fact I reduced the sugar in the recipe by more than half.

Special Delivery! What a surprise!
