Kindergarten Immersion celebrated 100 days of school with lots of fun activities!
Throughout the day, students participated in engaging activities that helped them learn while celebrating this special milestone. Students practiced reading and writing about the number 100, shared ideas about what they would do if they had 100 of something, and explored math activities focused on counting, grouping, and representing 100 in different ways.
Students were excited and applied their language and academic skills as they learned.
A special thanks to two high school friends who visited and dressed up for the occasion!
