We have started working with our 100 square in Math class. 
We are having lots of fun playing games with our squares in class. We beat teacher today in class playing a tens and units game.
Here is a link to a game the children are enjoying in class. It would be great to have practice at home.

On Wednesday the 14th of January we had a day off school because it was snowing. The roads were too slippy and dangerous. Today, we wrote acrostic poems about our snow day.
