100th Day of School

We did this in math today.  

Since this was in First Grade, it was a little difficult.

Instead of just saying the number, 

I said ten more than a number.

Ten less than a number.

Also thrown in there was a number between a number.

Ex: I am between 27 and 25.

 We brought in snacks.  In each class we weighed them, we found the lightest and the heaviest.

Then we "battled" it out against the other classes.

Then we added our food for a mixture.

 We did a book:

I used coffee filters to hand out snack. 

Here is how one person will look in 100 years: 

We went to the computer lab and used Pixie to make 100 things:

 {Yes I know there aren't 100 things here, he had to use three pages :)}

 This little gal, stacked them on top of each other :)

100th Day of School Feb 4th

Our 100th day of school was yesterday and we had soooooo much fun.

We sent home a bag and a note requesting a snack.  We asked that each family send in 100 pieces of something. One child in another teacher's room, brought 100 chips. This is how they arrived to school.

We combined our 100 pieces for our snack. Mr. B's snack was the heaviest and Mr. G's snack was the lightest. When we weighed them against the other first grade classes, Mr. B was silver medal and Mr. G was bronze medal.

We played at math game- it is the one we sent home for our weekend math game.

We designed a 100 sheet.
We read our 100th day poem.
I gave this to each one of my students- in my math group and then the regular ones too :)

 We did a cube roll. Roll a dice and color, repeat but use another color. I chose to use green and yellow because the Packers are in the Superbowl.

 This is from Kinderglynn on TeachersPayTeachers. I had my firsties write T and H for tails and heads.

 Here is the sheet that the children counted by 2's, 4's, 5,'s, 10's, 25's, and 50's!

 I hid 100 kisses around the room. We "lost" 2 kisses! Seriously, I put them out and no kids went into the room and ate them, but I wrote down the numbers on the "Missing Work" board, so I hope we find them sometime!

 We played this game with a partner. It is supposed to be a "cootie catcher" (Sorry, I don't really know another name.) You fold it and then put them over your finger tips and have the kids pick a number and then they open and close the paper.  I gave them a paper and a paper clip. They spun and played with their partner.

100th Day of School

On February 4th we will celebrate our 100th day of school!!!
Our math groups will focus on activities dealing with 100.

My students will be rotating between these centers:

Flip a coin 100 times and record head/tails
- created sheet

Make trains of 100 cubes- unifix cubes

Roll a dice until the total is 100-there is a sheet that I got from a blog I follow

Make as many coin combinations as possible to equal a dollar use stamps 

Use sheet with counting by 2,4,5,10 etc. I will post a photo of this so you can make your own.


I have several books I plan to read to my students too :)


We will be weighing our 100th day snack as well. We will be completing a 100th day booklet. It is still down at the copy center- I hope it makes it back in time.


I also have a sheet that you attach a roll of Smarties to that says I am 100 days smarter. I will be giving that to my students along with those in my math group.


I will also be hiding 100 Hershey's Kisses.  I used garage sale dots on the bottom- I am thinking of putting them under the ELMO- but will it melt is the pressing question!?!?!?!?!? I want them to see the progress. Oh the dilemma


I have a packet of about 30 things/pages to do. Such as:
*draw a picture using 100 circles/triangles/squares
*do 100 jumping jacks
*write your name over and over again on a 100's chart

Target Shopping

Here were my Target finds:

top: 3 new Seuss videos- $5 each
Valentine's pencils, 100th day bookmarks, growing pellets, glitter letters,  cupcake notepad,  Very Hungry Caterpillar plates and tablecloth. (Is it still a tablecloth if it is made from plastic?)

Growing Pellets- I plan to use these with a recording sheet, when I get close to use them, I will post it.

I will be using the glitter letters for a container for brain sprinkles. I will post photos when done.

For the VHC materials, I will be using the plates to make book covers. The tablecloth could be used for the background on a bulletin board.
