Let me tell you, our 100th Day of School is only half over and it is already a huge success! We managed to take a photo of all 50 grade one students outside and follow all COVID protocols (two meters between groups, no masks permitted because we are in our bubbles and outside – not in a commonplace). The class photo is of Mrs. Gillam’s (left), Mrs. Spingle’s (middle), and Mrs. Dustin’s (right) groups. 50 students, 100 clean hands recently sanitized, 100 grade one feet that walked into the school today.
One by one the students entered the school this morning and were greeted by their teachers who had decorated the classroom with streamers and balloons and posters. This year has been challenging because many of our manipulatives and centers have had to be permanently put away due to the difficulty (or impossibility) of disinfection… but we managed to find some engaging, stimulating, and pedagogical activities for this COVID-style 100th day! Here are some photos were taken of our incredible day that won’t soon be forgotten.
