Happy 100th Day of School!

Yesterday was our 100th day of school. We did lots of 100 activities to celebrate this fun day! We read one of my very favorite 100 day books, Jake's 100th Day of School by Lester Laminack. Lester was my professor at WCU and is an amazing writer and teacher. No surprise this is one of my favorites! We read the story and we talked about the things that we did that were similar to the things that Jake's class did to celebrate the 100th day.

One thing that we did that Jake's class did was make a 100th day snack. Here is the recipe in case you want to make your own!

10 Marshmallows, 10 Goldfish, 10 pretzels, 10 chocolate chips, 10 raisins, 10 white chocolate chips, 10 chex , 10 cheerios, 10 piece of caramel corn, 10 m&m's

Add them together and you get 100 yummy things to eat!

We counted all the way to 100 this morning by 1's and by 10's. We had been building up to this all year! We also made a 100 chain of 100 links. Each day we would take our links and estimate and measure something in our classroom. Today we put all 100 links together and we went out into our school to measure. We found that the bookshelf in the hall was 100 links, the lunchtables were less than 100 links, and BIG RED (our inside slide) was also shorter than 100 links. Our line was also shorter!

Then the students shared their 100th day projects. Each student was supposed to bring in 100 of anything that they chose, however they chose to share with our class. We had ALL kinds of creative projects to share!

We had a book filled with 100 things we have learned in Kindergarten

We had things made out of 100 legos!

We had 100 seashells collected at grandma's house.

We had collections of 100 pieces of popcorn, 100 stickers, and 100 buttons.

And then we had 100 YUMMY treats... actually 200! Boy they loved eating those!


We also had a great picture of a man fishing made out of snacks!
