My afternoon class did the same activity as the morning class (see yesterday’s post) except they looked closely at The Hat!

The 100th Day of school is only 13 days away for us! Last year my students wrote 100 Ways to Choose Kind. They were so excited to inspire others around school to choose kind. *Bonus: You won’t have to change your bulletin board for awhile because it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day! 💗
