Valentines day and 100 days

J's Kindergarten class is nearing 100 days of class. They will have a big celebration and math day on the 100th day of class. Each child has to complete a 100 days poster with 100 of some object glued onto the poster and bring in 100 of some kind of snack to share with the class that day. J chose to take blue and yellow (Michigan's colors) jelly beans for his snack to share. He wanted to do popcorn for his poster. I think he thought that he got to eat the popcorn too because he was a bit disappointed after the glue dried and they were stuck. Here is a picture of his 100 days poster.
For valentines day all of the kindergartners were supposed to wear red. I found J a black shirt with a red stripe down the sleeve and asked if it would be okay. He wanted to find something with more red. So we looked in the summer clothes. This is what he found. A shirt from Grandpa and Nicki from Hawaii. We just had about 10 inches of snow and a snow day recently, but that didn't stop J from wearing his shirt from Hawaii to school! He had fun exchanging valentines with his classmates for the first time.
