100 Days

Yesterday marked the 100th day of school.  To be honest, I never would have known were it not for a caped mystery man named "Hundred Man" running around the school.  Jim, our first and second grade teacher, celebrates the 100th day of each school year with a fantastic costume and fun filled learning activities for his classes.  He does not fit into the sterotype for elemenary teachers in any way.  He is a serious biker guy who stands 6 foot 7 inches with hair to his waist.  He is also probably one of the best teachers I will ever know.  Someone once described watching his classroom as "magic" and I think it's a pretty appropriate term.  He turns everthing, including daily attendance, into an exciting learning activity and draws the kids into hiw web of learning and good behavior.  It's pretty awesome to watch.  Pictures of "Hundred Man" will be coming soon.
