One Hundredth Day of School

We celebrated the 100th day of school on Tuesday! Each day since September, we have counted the days by adding a stick to a ones box. When we got to 10, we made a bundle and added it to a tens box. Finally, we got to make a big bundle of ten tens and we put it in a hundreds box! We read stories about ways to make 100, counted our collections of 100 by making 10 groups of 10, practiced counting by twos, fives, and tens, and made a book and a headband.

Here we all are in our headbands.

We counted by tens to see how many fingers there were in our class on the 100th day -

210!

Carson and Mallory worked on their book about the ways to make 100.

Nice job on the headband, too!

We counted by fives to get 100 spots on those ladybugs.

The kids brought in collections of 100 objects from home, and then practiced counting by tens as they made ten groups of ten.

We discovered that 100 is a really big number!

The chocolate chips were tempting!

So were the M&Ms.

100 pony tail holders!
Elaina said she had lots more at home.

100 pennies makes one dollar.

Bruno had tiny pieces of rice - way too small to see in the picture.

Carson had 100 marshmallows - can you see them?

So what does 100 look like?
A lot!!

Of course, I can't take a class picture without someone asking to make silly faces.

So, here we are again!
