Hip! Hip! Hooray! It's the 100th day of School!

Today marked the 100th day of school! There were many activities happening today and all throughout the week. The best part was when we paraded through the classrooms with our super duper 100th Day t-shirt creations!  Another awesome activity was our 100th day snack mix with 10 Skittles, 10 pieces of arare with nori, 10 marshmallows, 10 animal crackers, 10 pretzels, 10 chocolate crackers, 10 Cheese Nips, 10 Cheetos, 10 conversation hearts, and 10 pieces of mini chocolate chip cereal. What an unforgettable day!
