We are celebrating the 1,000th Day of School in 5th Grade this week. Since the first day of Kindergarten to this week, the students have been in school for 1,000 days. Wahoo!!
To help celebrate, students are welcome to bring in 1,000 items to class. These items MUST FIT INSIDE a small ziplock baggie, and the zipper must be able to close. Be creative, have fun, and be prepared to tell a story to go along with your 1,000 items. I am so excited to see what you are able to find around your house. 🙂
Please bring all items to school on Friday, February 8th. We will do the presentations before lunchtime.
