Cooper turns 100 years old!

Today was the 100th day of school! To celebrate this milestone, the first graders all dressed up as 100 year old men and women. So we found Cooper an "old man" sweater, some too short pants, socks with flip flops, and of course silver gray hair with wrinkles on the face. At first he was embarrassed and didn't want anyone to see him. He even wanted me to drive to school instead of walk so people wouldn't see him! But once he got to school and saw a bunch of his friends dressed up too, he was a happy guy.

During the Friday morning assembly, all the first grade teachers (who also turned 100 today!) got up and did a little dance...

The school day was full of activities all related to the number 100. They did tally marks, decorated paper glasses with 100 stickers, made trail mix with 100 pieces of 10 different food items, drew and painted pictures of themselves, and said what they would do when they were 100 years old. Cooper said he would snore!

Today was also Jersey day for the rest of the school. Zoe was excited to finally wear her NY Jets (Brett Favre) jersey to school.
Cooper was sad he didn't get to wear his jersey all day, but he brought him with him to school and made the switch at lunch. He is so excited that the Steelers are in the Super Bowl this weekend and was proud to wear his #7 Roethlisberger jersey!
