Contact_FullName: Carla Contact_Email: c_patulny@hotmail.com Area: 100 days of school Idea: We found a great book called "Mrs. Bindergarten celebrates the 100th day of Kindergarten" Great to read on the 100th day of school 1-13-01At my daughter's elementary school on the 100th day of school they encourage the children to make a shirt at home and wear it that day The shirt can have 100 of anything put on it. They are told to be creative. One time someone pinned 100 safety pins on. Another time someone put 100 balloons on and so forth.
9-4-00For the theme 100 day, make a large circle and draw a face on like a caterpillar. Each day have a circle added to the caterpillars body and put the number one and write word one, keep adding each day until you get to 100 days. It look really cute all around the room and the children count every day. Give each child a chance to put a circle on.
Date: 3-2-00We sent a letter home to the parents asking them to send a 100 pennies to school with their children. Each child counted their pennies into 10 rows of 10. We rolled the pennies, and donated them to a fundraiser.
2-16-00I teach pre-k and for our 100th day, our class will be working in groups of two to three students. These students will choose one material they will create something out of (100 Popsicle sticks or 100 q-tips) With the 100 pieces of material they can create ANYTHING they want as a team. We will invite our friends and families to come to our 100th day celebration and show off our creations. Almost like a mini science fair.
Date: 2-7-00In honor of 100 days of school, have a mad hatter party. Send a letter home to parents asking them to help their child decorate a hat in honor of the 100th day of school. Have the children wear the hat to school and have a parade and then come back to your classroom for a "mad hatter celebration. The hats can be silly or they may want to glue a hundred of something on their hats. For example, 100 eyes, dinosaurs, etc.
Date: 2-6-00Send home a letter to the parents letting them know that the 100th day of school will be coming up soon. Have the students come to school dressed as though they are 100 years old!
Date: 1-24-00Writing/Drawing Activity: Ask the children, "If you could have 100 of anything, what would it be?" Give them blank pieces of paper or a pre-made "I would have 100 __________!" paper. My kids always come up with interesting things and tPiš’ero means nothing. I do this by asking the children how many boys are in our class? How many girls? How many puppy dogs? The children laugh and tell me none. None is zero. I have a super hero with the number zero on his shirt. Everyday from then on we count the days of school. Every day that we hit a number that has a zero in it (10), we have a Zero the Hero snack and do a zero the hero project. The snacks are in the shapes of zeroes...fruit loops, donuts, cheerios, (any food that represents the zero). The children love to count. They can't wait to get to the next Zero the Hero day.
