Sorry it has been awhile...report cards were due (UGH!) and then I got sick...but now I am back on my game.
A few weeks after returning from our vacation, we celebrated our 100th day of school! We have been counting up since the first day of school, and started counting down to the 100th day with about 4 weeks left...needless to say, my kids were VERY excited to celebrate...so all day I did an activity related to 100 days. I had to take out making the 100-day necklace (we did it the following week) because one of my assistants was not there that day...But here are some of the things that we did...
These are two of the 100-day collections that I got. I saw many different collections this year...stickers, straws, toys, noodles, crackers, pennies...it is great when my parents help participate to complete projects. With their 100 day project, my students complete a writing about their project. I take pictures, and then we post it in the classroom. In a few weeks, we will turn their 100-day writing into a book.
At another station, students were completing a 100-day book...
Students got to use stickers, daubbers, stamps...just about anything I could find in my classroom.
While my assistant was at lunch, we had a great time...rolling to 100 and then creating a picture out of 100 foam shape pieces.
Our rolling and counting was a great activity. All of the students loved being able to help roll our way to 100! Maybe next year, I will add another dice...
Students loved this once. They got to choose any piece that they wanted and add it to the creation. The only rule that I gave them was that the piece they added had to touch another piece. We think it looks like a train! Some of my older kids have asked to do this type of activity again...now I just leave out the pattern blocks for them.
At the end of the day...although I did not take pictures...we stamped our way to 100 (10 sets of 10 stamps) and we made 100 Day Hash.
Overall, our 100 day celebration was a BIG success!
