100th Day of School

Another 100th day of school celebration is in the books and, boy, was it a fun one!

Prior to the day, students were asked to create something at home using 100 items. Each student had a chance to present their creation to the class. There was so much creativity! Some of the items used were stickers, candy, hand-drawn pictures, and food. 






Next, Mrs. Hoy and Mrs. Boltz set up a fantastic morning of hundreds-themed activities. 

Roll to 100,

Dress-up like you're 100 was certainly a favorite!

 


 

 
 


100 Dum-dum licks


The blue whale is about 100 feet long so we lined up 100 one-foot long pieces of construction paper to experience just how long the blue whale is! 
The paper stretched the entire length of our hallway...

And turned the corner nearly making it all the way to the boys bathroom door! Each group of 10 papers was a new colors to make counting by 10s a breeze!

Mr. Mecoli stopped by to hear the students talk about this remarkably huge animal! He was amazed!

We used dotters to find numbers 1-100.

We created portraits of our 100 year old selves.



Even snack-time was 100s themed! The teachers hid 100 Fruit Roll-Ups around the multi-purpose for the students to find. As they found them, the Fruit Roll-Ups were placed on the 100s chart until we reached 100!

Check out his jump! 

Their "Before I am 100" bucket lists were priceless! 
Here is a sampling of some of their responses:

"I want to have a car and my driver's license."
"I want to buy food by myself."
"Be famous!"
"Go to Cleveland."
"Talk to Anthony Rizzo."
"Go on the upside down rides at Kings Island and Kennywood and any place else I go."
"Be stronger than my dad."
"Go to an NHL hockey game."
"Be an explorer."
"Be a rabbi."
"Be a scientist and bring dinosaurs back to life."
"Get married and have children."
"Live to 100."
"Have nothing bad happen."
"I want to sleep in my own room by myself."

Students counted out 100 beads and used them to create 100th Day necklaces to help them remember our special day!

Bags with 100 Legos were ready for students to begin creating!


This game required students to roll a die and color in that number of spaces until they reach 100.

They each made a prediction about how long it would take for 100 ice cubes to melt. 
(It ended up taking 8.5 hours!)

What a fun day!!
