DCD kindergarteners have been enjoying their celebration of 100 days of school, engaging in a wide variety of math and counting activities, and presenting their 100 days posters to the entire school! Over the course of the week, our DCD kindergarten has been full of games, laughter, and learning, all built around their celebration of the 100th day of school! To mark the capstone of this celebration, the school came together on Thursday morning for a special assembly, in which kindergarteners presented their 100 day posters, including such creative designs as 100 coins, 100 soccer balls, and 100 popsicles!
