100th Day, Hooray!

It's hard to believe that the 100th day of school was over 60 school days ago--and that we only have less than 20 days left! 

Either way, I still wanted to share with you the excitement we experienced on the 100th day of school!


The children were very engaged in creating a 100th day crown that truly challenged their mathematical thinking. We had pre-made the base and stapled 10 strips to the base. Each strip was a different color. For each strip, I gave the children a task. This really challenged their oral listening skills, too!



Austin is writing the numerals from 1-10 on the green strip.


Abby is writing her name 10 times on the light blue strip!


Here is a completed crown! 10 items on each one of the 10 strips means-- 100!


Audrey is sporting her 100th Day Crown!



Now, what would a special day be like in Mrs. Lochel's class without a snack to compliment it??  That would be unheard of!  So, we soon got to work on a 100 piece snack-- here are the options and a blank 100 grid.



Giovanna got started with 10 marshmellows and 10 M & M's.


Nathan continued on with Cheez-Its and Goldfish.



Kailyn added pretzels and chocolate covered raisins.


10 pieces of 10 different snack items means--100!




We ate a handful and packed the rest up to take home.  It sure was interesting to see just what a 100 piece snack looked like!

  5. I'm now following you. I love the crown! We made crowns last year and they had to cut out buses. Then the had to count by 10s to 100. After that they glued them to a strip of construction paper. It was a mess. Do you put the crowns together for them?
