Last Friday we celebrated the 100th day of first grade. We'd been counting every day since school started and the children were very excited to finally get to 100! Each day we wrote the number on our one hundred chart and added straws, bundling up tens and the children were so tickled to finally have that big hundred bundle!
We read lots of great 100th day of school books like Jake's 100th Day, The Night Before the 100th Day of School, It's the 100th Day Stinky Face, Fancy Nancy's 100th Day, and 100th Day Worries.
We also incorporated the number 100 into our BUILD stations for the week. At Buddy Games the children played "Roll To 100" where they took turns rolling the dice and moving that many spaces on their one hundred chart. The first one to 100 was the winner! At Using Manipulatives the children had 20 minutes to put together as many pieces of a 100 piece puzzle as they could. For Independent work the children had to find missing numbers on a 100 and for Learning About Math they got to read Cheerios Count to 100 and 100 Days of School.
When the big day finally arrived the first fun activity that we did was make a 100th day snack with 100 yummy items. The children had to make 10 groups of 10 using their snacks.
In the afternoon we had 100th Day Centers. At one station the children made 100th day books. They wrote to 100 by 2's, 5's, and 10's and drew a picture of what they would like to have 100 of and what they would NOT want to have 100 of. They also wrote numbers that were bigger than 100 and numbers that were smaller.
At the next station the children used stop watches to time a partner for 100 seconds. During that time the partner counted how many times they could jump, write their name, and say the ABC's! This was a fun way for the students to get up and get moving!
At their third station they made 100th Day hats. Each student had 100 star stickers to decorate their hats. This was a fun activity and the children loved wearing their cool hats!
Happy 100th Day of School!!!!
