Elijah's 100th Day of Kindergarten

On January 20th, Elijah celebrated his 100th Day of Kindergarten with his class.  I took advantage of one of my favorite perks of staying at home, left Keira with Dendi, and volunteered to help out with the celebration.  I ran a center in the hall where I brought two students out with me, at a time, to do 100 activities.  The kids took turns doing silly activities like finger taps, toe taps and jumps.  They performed ten separate activities, ten times.  While one student did the activity the other student recorded the task's completion with ten tally marks. 

A lot of the silly activities made the kids grin and laugh.

 

Possibly even more special than volunteering in the classroom, I was able to come back and eat lunch in the cafeteria with Elijah.  It allowed us some good quality cuddling and chatting time.  On the walk back to the classroom, I loved watching Elijah's grin as one of his best friends, Kieran, poked and played with him.

Mrs. Taylor, one of Elijah's teachers, saw me snapping pictures of Elijah in line and graciously asked if I wanted to get a class photo of all the kids in their 100th Day Hats.
