100th Day

We had a fun filled 100th day--it's hard to believe these students had the energy for all we did at their old age!

Everyone came dressed the part, plus some over the top theatrics of hunching over and holding their backs. 

We stuck with our routines in the morning, but in the afternoon the students go to go through a variety of 100th day stations. 

Word building with the letters in 'hundred days':

100 piece puzzles:

Working in our 100th day books:

Building 100 cup structures:

It was a fun filled day and I know the next 80 days of school will be even better!!!

100th day centers

Today rather than doing Walk to Read, the students worked at 100 day centers in the classroom. The built words with the letters in 'hundred days', played Roll for 100, worked to rebuild a hundred chart, and created a portrait of what they would look like if they were 100 years old. Here is a peak at our centers:

Math on 100th day

In math today we discover there are many ways to group 100. After the students shared how they grouped their 100 objects from home we worked in groups and looked for other ways to group 100 objects. We discovered that the different groups are similar to our fact families.

This week we have been working on addition and subtraction stories, or word problems. The 100th day of school seemed like a great reason to write stories using the number 100:

100 year old students

Look at some of the 100 year old students who arrived in the classroom today...lots of gray hair!
