100 Days Smarter

After a variety of Cold Days in the month of January, last Monday, February 3rd brought us our 100th Day of School.  We had so much celebrating our first one hundred days together and all that we have learned.  Take a look at a few photos from our day.

Counting out our 100th day snack.  10 sets of 10 yummy treats = 100 pieces of 100th Day Trail Mix.  Yum!  Thank you to those that volunteered to bring in a snack contribution.

Filling in a 100s chart.

How can we use the 100s chart's patterns to help us with our counting?

Yay, we're 100 Days Smarter!  Decorating flags to hang in the class

and completing the sentence, "I can..."

Coloring and graphing shapes found in the number 100.

In addition, we drew self-portraits of what we look like on the 100th Day of School.  It is fun to watch and see how the Kindergarteners ability to accurately draw their own features grows throughout the year.  We also drew what we thought we might look like in 100 years, too.  It was fun to see how they think they'll age....gray hair?, glasses?, a cane?.  In the coming days, take a look at this completed activity on display in our classroom.  A fun surprise awaits as we display not only our drawings but photos, too, that portray what we looked like Both on the 100th day of school and what we might look like in 100 years!

All in all, it was a busy day where we also read a variety of books about the 100th day of school and completed 10 sets of exercises including:
10 jumping jacks
10 marches
10 jumps
10 sit ups
10 push ups
10 bicycle pedals
10 toe touches
10 wind mills
10 hops on the left foot
10 hops on the right foot

100 times the fun was had!  What a great way to start the month of February!
