Hello! Newspaper Club speaking, and we have some news for you. Here’s a recap of the 100th day of school and the big events that happened to celebrate 100 days of students learning at Central Elementary School! It was on Thursday, January 21st. The morning followed the same morning routine as usual, but the rest of the day wasn’t- it was filled with 100’s Day fun for the youngest students in our school! First of all, do you know why Kindergarten and 1st grade celebrate 100’s day? We do! They celebrate it because the teachers want their students to count to100 and use tally marks. They use the 100th day of school as math and fun together. Some classes made 100 tally mark headbands, weighed 100 items, and made fruit loop necklaces with 100 fruit loops. Sure sounds fun! Happy 100th day of learning!

How to Make a Valentine's Day Bracelet

Here is how to make a Valentine’s Day bracelet for a Valentine party at school. The first thing you need to do to make a Valentine’s bracelet is get all of your materials together. You will need string, pink/red/white beads, a pretty charm, and letter beads to spell a name. To make the bracelet first start with some string measured to fit your wrist. The second thing to do is string pink, white, and red beads in any order or pattern that you want. The third thing to do is use your letter beads to spell your name or your friend’s name (if you’re giving it away as a Valentine’s gift). The last thing you need to do to finish your bracelet is string on a charm. After everything is on the string, tie it to keep all the beads on the bracelet. Now you’re ready for your school Valentine’s Day party!
Did you know Valentine’s Day has history to it? Here’s how it started. Emperor Claudius II of Rome banned marriage because he thought single men made better soldiers. A man named Valentine thought this was unfair, so he broke the rules and performed marriages anyway. The emperor found out and punished Valentine on February, 14th in the year 270. Just before he was caught, Valentine had written the first ever valentine letter. In the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I declared February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day to honor Valentine.
