100 Days of School!

We had so much fun celebrating our first 100 days of school. Take a look!

You may notice that we are wearing the 100 Days Smarter shirts we made earlier in the week. Since then, I've seen a few students wear them again to school. I love that!

One of the first things we did was look at each of the books we have read over the 100 days of school. Then each child picked a favorite. Ask your child which book he or she liked best so far.

A lot of us brought in collections of 100. Wow! It's amazing how different 100 can look depending on what the object is. We talked a lot about that, for sure!

We made hats, too. Each hat had ten strips, and on each strip were ten dots. We got certificates, stickers, a bookmark, and a pretend 100 dollar bill to celebrate the day.

Another way we celebrated was to give 100 high fives. This was a lot of fun!

We had a 100 day snack, too. Continuing with the theme, we had ten different snacks with ten items in each. It took us a long time to eat it!

While eating the snack, we watched Emily's 100 Days of School by Rosemary Wells.

Another fun thing we did was use team work to decorate giant items with 100 things. For example, we had a donut with 100 sprinkles, a sugar cookie with 100 sprinkles, a fish bowl with 100 fish, a gumball machine with 100 gumballs, and a snow globe with 100 snowflakes. Teams had to decide how to make the 100 items and how to each contribute.

We did a little predicting, too. We wondered what 100 drops of water looks like. Everyone thought it would take up more room! Good thing we checked.

What a fun day to celebrate being 100 days smarter!
