After morning meeting we moved onto calendar work where the students were finally able to write the number 100 on a post it to stick to our collection of numbers on the wall. The students were also able to exchange the coins on the calendar from 4 quarters, two dimes and 4 pennies for 1 dollar.
After calendar work we moved onto our 100th day activities. In a packet we had various activities where the students were able to engage in relating the number 100 to their own lives. For example, on one page we had the students write "100 Number Sentences" and students completed sentences such as, "I can carry 100 ______", "I wouldn't want 100 ________", and "I would want 100 _________". Students were also able to predict where they would end up in the school if they took 100 steps outside of our classroom. After writing their predictions, the class took a trip to count their footsteps and every student was surprised to see where they ended up.
In the afternoon we read "100th Day Worries" and used our schema stems to discuss how we could relate to the character. Students were able to make connections and share that they too were worried about the 100th day of school. Each student was asked to bring in an empty bottle and fill it with 100 things. The bottle was to come in a brown bag so that no one could see what was inside and the student was given clue sheet to write their 3 clues. We shared our 100th day bottles with another classroom and the kids were all very excited to reveal what they used.
At the end of the day the students were given 100th day posters to color in and everyone ended the day 100 days smarter!
