Students in Ms. Habowski's 2nd Grade class celebrated the 100th day of school with a 100 Hershey Kiss Hunt around the classroom. Students found Hershey Kisses that were hidden around the room. Students then placed the Hershey Kisses on a 100 chart and practiced counting to 100. This activity was also supervised by Ms. Habowski's student teacher, Mr. Merkle.
Mrs. Sharrow's Kindergarten class is 100 days smarter, and they celebrated by participating in delightful Day 100 activities. Miss Glassmire, their student teacher, also had the opportunity to be their facilitator during the fun festivities.
