On February 6, 2014, in conjunction with their number study of counting tens, the class celebrated their 100th day of school. Each child brought a collection of 100 things to class that day. The children shared their collections and had to explain the math strategy used to count their 100 items. It was a fun-filled day for all as the class; • Read 100 day Stories; • Created 100 day Fruit Loop necklaces and made 100 day sunglasses; • Identified and located given numbers on a 100 chart to reveal a secret message; • Enjoyed a 100th Day snack complete with 100th Day punch! The Kindergarten class is 100 days smarter and getting ready for First Grade in style. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the number 100!
