100th Day CELEBRATION!

The 100th day of school is always super FUN!  We try to squeeze so much in to one day, it's ridiculous! I on the other hand have done 100th day stuff all week this year.  We are still not done with the books we make. Here are a few pics of our day. 

This is how my next door neighbor decorated her door.  For me to do this, I would need to get to school early, as in BEFORE I am supposed to be there. That usually does NOT happen.  I know driving thirty minutes is not a long time for most but getting out of the house by 7:00 each morning is challenging when you have crazy teenagers at home who are also getting ready for school. 

Here are a few creative ways you can count practice counting to 100.  Most importantly, kids are doing the work. :) These are displayed in our Kinder hall by my teammates and I. We each do different things so they are fun to look at. 

I love this idea of counting to 100 by using pipe cleaners to make tally marks. 

 Each student brings a bag of 100 items.  We send home a note and a bag a week before our celebration.  We get out the 100's charts so students can count each other's items. My teammate, Paula, took it a little further.  She took some away from a few bags and added items to a few bags so not all would equal 100.  Then the graphed their results. LOVE!

On the 100th day, I always do table rotations.  Each group is at a table for about 15 minutes.  This year our tables consisted of: Zero the Hero puppet, 100th day snack (to be eaten later in the day), 100th day necklace (stringing fruit loops), 100 gum balls (bingo daubers) on the gum ball machine, 100th day triangle for our class banner (sorry I didn't take a picture of the finished banner).  I had a back up activity at each table too just in case they finished early.  The kids worked so well and quietly too. 

 

 

We also made these hats, a cute freebie we grabbed from Kinder-Craze. 

This year is flying by. I can't believe the 100th day has come and gone.  I really don't want this year to go any faster. I love my little class this year.  Who knows what next year brings. Eek! 

Love and virtual hugs!
