Celebrating 100 wonderful days of living and learning together. That's certainly worth special recognition.
Learning to count to 100 is an important profiency in the elementary school curriculum. The simple act of counting up to the first one hundred days of school helps children begin to develop many math skills and concepts involving number recognition, counting, number semse, addition and subtraction.
As students investigate, send, write, discuss, evaluate and interpret 100 across the curriculum, they learn to:
- read and write numbers
- arrange numbers in numerical order
- skip count by twos, fives, and tens
- sort and classify objects
- recognize and compare patterns
- use manipulatives and measuring devices to determine how much and how many
In addition to these activities, the students made a collection of 100 things. They also made a necklace out of 100 pieces of Fruit Loops cereal. We began the day with a special 1000th day breakfast. This was followed by:
- use a pan balance to find out which weighs more, 100 kernels of popped popcorn or 1000 kernel of unpopped popcorn
- participate in 100 physical exercises (10 jumping jacks, 10 toe touches, 10 sit-ups, etc..)
- take 10 pieces of of 10 different snacks tp put on their 100th day placemat to make a yummy snack
The students were also treated to a 100th day lunch consisting of:
