Happy 100th Day of School!

This year our 100th Day Celebration came a little late because of all the school we missed during Hurricane Sandy.  But that didn't stop us from celebrating now!

 All year long we have been adding a straw each day to our "Counting School Days" pocket chart.  This helped teach concepts of adding more and place value.  It was exciting each time we had to make a group of 10 straws... but it was REALLY exciting when we combined out 10 groups of 10 into a giant group of 100!!! 

 

In preparation for our 100th Day of school, students decorated t-shirts with 100 things of their choice to wear in a parade around the school.  We also made crowns to wear.  We decorated headbands with 10 items inside each of the 10 boxes, and then we colored a big sign that said we are "100 Days Smarter!"

 

  

After the parade, we played with our 100 Mats- adding 10 items inside each of the 10 circles.

 

 

Also, this week in Math Workshop we have been working with the number 100.  We have been working on filling in missing numbers in a 100s chart.  We have been putting together 100s Board puzzles.  In our Partner Station, we have been working more with our 100s Mats.  We have even played Chutes & Ladders, because it looks just like a 100s chart!

 We had so much fun!  Happy 100th Day of School!
