Day 100!

It's hard to believe that we have already been together 100 days! We celebrated the day with lots of 100's activities. We didn't have 100 things to do today, but it sure seemed like it. In fact, there were so many things to do that we are going to have to continue our activities into day 101!

We began by having a scavenger hunt around the classroom. Students were looking for 50 numbered stickers. As they found a colored dot sticker, they had to come back to their teammate and color the space on a hundreds grid to match the color of the sticker. This was a challenge because the whole hunt had to be done very quietly. If you shouted out a number and color, one of the other teams might try to 'steal' your answer!



For a math activity, students sorted out the 100 items the brought to school. They were asked to divide their 100 items into 2 equal groups, groups of 10 and we even used the items to make a variety of arrays.

Finally at the end of the day, we enjoyed our 100 day snack. The kids were given a variety of snack items (Cheez-Its, marshmallows, pretzels, M&Ms, etc.) and asked to count out 100. After everyone had counted, we combined them all together to make a 100 day trail mix for everyone to enjoy. We ended up with 1,200 items in our mix!
