Celebrating 100 Days Of School!

100 days smarter! Wednesday, January 25th marked this year's 100th day of school and classrooms across campus were celebrating in fun and unique ways! Kindergarten was showing off how they can count to 100 by coming up with fun and creative t-shirts that showcased 100 items! From 100 smarties to 100 stickers, 100 never looked so good!

A few feet down the hall in first grade, students donned hand colored hats that showcased the number 100! Students used this day to practice their counting skills, counting to 100 in many different ways including building structures with 100 items and making trail mix with 100 of each ingredient. Mrs. Cattrone’s class was turned into a Spy Lab, where students were made into spies, complete with fingerprinting, a name badge, case file, magnifying glass, and, of course, a mustache. Students completed a number of activities related to the number 100 in order to rescue “Zero the Hero” from the devious “Number 99!” Have no fear, the students were able to solve the mystery and save Zero (as if there were any doubt)!

Last but not least, who could forget 5th grade who dressed up in 1920’s garb leading up to the start of their “Gilded Age” unit in history! From flappers and pilots, to baseball players and Women Suffragettes, these students not only looked the part, but also had fun facts about the era to go along with their day.

From 30 years, to 100 days, PCA knows how to celebrate the numbers!

Storybook Characters Come To Life On Stage

Palmetto Christian Academy kindergartners visited the historic Dock Street Theater in downtown Charleston last Friday. The students were sitting on the edge of their seats as they watched the author Eric Carle’s stories come to life on stage. While on the field trip, they were able to see characters from the iconic books such as, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See” and “The Hungry Caterpillar”. It was true kindergarten magic watching the students enjoy the theater in awe of each storybook character coming to life. As one student said, “the hungry caterpillar was as big as me… whoa”. What a gift to watch these young students appreciate the importance and beauty of the arts. The kindergarten team of teachers did a wonderful job connecting the books read in class to the stage as they compared and contrasted the books to the play. What a special day at the theatre with such a precious group of students.
