Last Friday our class celebrated the 100th day of school. This was a great time for us to think back on our school year so far and to take time to think about all the different ways we can get to 100!
The children had an assignment to create a 100th day of school poster using groups of tens. They did a phenomenal job! These were some of the best posters I had ever seen! They made our hallway look fantastic!
Each child was able to explain what they chose and share how they got to 100! We had lots of great ideas including making a picture, making patterns, and making collections!
In one of our Weekly Reader magazines, we learned about being heart healthy. We learned that exercise is really important in keeping our hearts pumping, which keeps our whole body healthy. We decided to do 100 exercises to help us be healthy! We did 10 jumping jacks, mountain climbers, stretches, push ups, sit ups, frog hops, snake crawls, toe touches, and arm circles with each arm to equal 100 exercises! We felt great after finishing and I know our hearts were pumping!
We also spent some time counting to 100 different ways and reading some 100th day of school books. One of our favorites was 100th Day Worries. This book was about a little girl not sure of what to put on her 100th day of school poster and she finds 100 bits of love from her family.
We did a little 100th day measuring as well. In groups, we used unifix cubes, mini cubes, and rainbow links to measure 100. This was a great activity for us to see why units of measure are so important. First, we estimated which one we thought would make the longest train. Then the groups made trains and we put them in order from longest to shortest. We found out that it is important to say what you are measuring with so that you don't get mixed up!
We had a great 100th day of school!
