100th Day of School

We had counted forwards and backwards, grouped, charted, and created patterns using the numbers 1 - 99 each morning during number corner. All of that in anticipation for the 100th day of school. Of course we all had to wear crowns sporting 100 dots in various groups and . . .

• count by 100's as we all one by one dumped 100 gorp items into a large bowl
• eat 100 Kix one by one as we wrote all the numbers on a grid
• estimate what 100 steps would be and then count out 100 steps
  
• draw what we would look like in 100 years
  
• flip a penny 100 times and keep track of the heads and tails using tally marks
• hop on one foot for 100 seconds (it's longer than you think)
• talk to a friend for 100 seconds
• hold 100 popcorn kernals in our hand
• watch 100 popcorn kernals pop from a hot air popper and see where they would land
• compare what 100 popped kernals looked like after picking them up from around the room
• state what we would and would not eat 100 of
• state what we would and would not hold 100 of
• write what was one of our most favorite activities from the past 100 days
• as a group collect 100 happy words
• as a group read 100 books
• wrote number sentences equaling 100
  

We are all looking forward to next year when we are 2nd grade mathematicians. Perhaps our 100 year old guest teacher will make an appearance next year!
