100th Day of Kindergarten
Celebrating the 100th day has become a rite of passage for Timmons Elementary School kindergartners. Not only do they celebrate the milestone, but they also explore the number 100. From creating T-shirts with 100 items, deciding how to spend $100 and talking about what it was like 100 years ago, it is not something children will soon forget.
For students in Mrs. Rachel Carter’s class, they made a new friend, Mrs. Claire Marcus, who will turn 100 this year. Mrs. Marcus visited her great-granddaughter’s class to talk about what it is like to be almost a century old. She shared with students the importance of reading and to always try to learn something new. She started taking ballroom dancing lessons at age 85.
