Celebrating the 100th Day of School with Style

Students and teachers enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school this week. Students shared their 100th day collections, colored 100th day glasses, colored number patterns on a 100 board, wrote about how they were 100 days smarter, made snack mix, and we wrote a digital book called, "Our 100 Favorite Things" together. Our kindergarteners counting out 10 strips of 10 stickers and covered an outline of the number 100 with 100 stickers. This was a fun activity and they practiced counting to 100 in different ways. We also read some great books about the 100th day of school. The 100th day of school was an exciting day that students will always remember.

Students brought in a collection of 100 items to share with the class. The collections were very interesting and unique. Each student was proud to share what they counted out and brought to school. We then divided up the items into groups of 5 and practiced counting to 100 by 5's. We also divided up the items into groups of 10 and practiced counting to 100 by 10's. This is a great activity to do at home with different things. Students should be counting by 5's and 10's this year.

To make our 100th Day Snack Mix, students counted out 10 of 10 different kinds of snacks and bagged them up in a baggie. This was a fun activity for students and a great way to practice counting. They even got to make extra baggies and share them with teachers around the school.

Kindergarteners enjoyed decorating their 100s with 100 stickers. There was a lot of great counting going on during this activity. We also sang, "Happy 100th day to you" to the tune of "Happy Birthday". Ask your child to sing this for you.
