This year all of Primary decided to celebrate the 100th Day of school by creating a "museum of 100 ____." Each student was asked to bring 100 of something that would fit in a gallon sized bag. It was interesting to see all if the different items & creativity! The kids lived comparing how 100 of one object could be much smaller/bigger/lighter/heavier/etc. than 100 of another object!
We also made 100 necklaces using 100 fruit loops. These took us a few days to complete--you'd be surprised how long it takes to thread 100 things onto a piece if string!!! (You may want to file this idea away for summer/spring break/etc. It will keep your child occupied for quite awhile!)
We also took the time to count out one child's bag of 100 things. We figured out how many groups of 10 are in 100 by sorting the items into groups. We then matched these groups with 10 bars from our Golden Beadx and used the 10 bars to practice counting by 10s to 100.
Later we talked about what we would like 100 of and what we would not like 200 of. The kindergarteners wrote & illustrated their own pieces.
We allI enjoyed celebrating the 100th day of school this year!
