100th Day of Kindergarten

Today was R.'s 100th Day of School (I had never heard of such a thing till my daughter started kindergarten!) and her class celebrated with special activities all day long. She came home from school positively bubbling with enthusiasm, so I videotaped her telling me stories about things like "when we tried to fit 100 kids in our classroom!" She actually had been anticipating this milestone day for some time by reading Margaret McNamara's One Hundred Days (Plus One) every night to me. This particular "Ready-to-Read" series of books, by the way, is great for new readers- R. has already devoured their other stories about Halloween, Thanksgiving Day, Election Day, Martin Luther King Day, and even Groundhog Day. They cost just $3.99 apiece. Keep your kindergartner's reading current and check out the series at Amazon.com.
