Glen Cove Students Dress Like the Elderly for 100 Days of School

First graders sure do make some cute old people.

Kindergarten and first-grade students at Deasy School commemorated the 100th day of school with a variety of fun, educational activities.

Kindergarten students counted cereal pieces in groups of ten to equal 100 and then placed them on a string, creating “Froot Loop” necklaces. They also decorated paper crowns that read “100 Days Smarter” and completed 100 jumping jacks.

Meanwhile, first-grade students and teachers dressed like they were 100-years-old.
