100th Day Hooray!!

We had a great time celebrating our 100th Day of School last month! We did so many fun activities to commemorate this important milestone. To begin, each student was given a 100th Day bag, and their assignment was to collect 100 items to fill the bag. They wrote 3 clues on an index card to describe their items, and then their classmates guessed what was in the bag. There were quite a few stumpers!


We also used a 100s chart to create a secret picture. I read clues and the children found the numbers on the chart that I was describing (ex. find ten less than 63. find 24 and count on 5 more). We did this in silence so no one would reveal the secret picture. Of course, they were so smart they were able to predict it as we got close to the end!




We also played Dragon Dice, which is a simple game, but oh so much fun! Students played in partners using a 100s chart a dice, and playing chips. They took turns rolling the dice to determine how far to move. The fun part came at the end because the winner had to land EXACTLY on 100! Some underdogs came out victorious in the end because of this! If they finished early, they played again by doubling the amount on their dice!




We also read 100th Day books, sang 100th Day songs, wrote about what we would do with $100 or what we would be like when we were 100 years old!
