100th Day and Global Play Day!

100th Day
I hope you've had a great week! Our 100th day of learning will be February 4th! We will be celebrating and doing many activities around the friendly number of 100! We can't wait to celebrate in our classroom!

Global Play Day

Our school is planning to celebrate Global School Play Day on Wednesday, February 6th. We feel strongly that students need to have opportunities to unplug and connect with their peers for extended unstructured play. There are almost 300,000 students across the world who are registered for this event, so we are not alone!

Students may bring in a toy (or set) from home. This needs to be a toy that your child is willing to share with others. We also recommend choosing something that is durable and not valuable, because sometimes things get broken.

Please use these lists as guidelines when helping your child decide what to bring. Your child always has the option to not bring anything at all! We have many games and activities already available at school.

Suggested Items	Do Not Bring
Hotwheels Dolls Dress-ups Figurines Stuffed animals Board games Legos/ Blocks Card Games Arts and craft supplies Origami or other specialty paper Clay/ play dough/ model magic Blankets/sheets	Electronics Anything with batteries Video games Delicate or fragile items Toy weapons (including Nerf guns) Valuable or sentimental items Sports equipment

We are looking forward to this exciting day and we are in need of empty and hopefully large boxes! If you have any empty cardboard boxes could you please send them in before this day!
