100 days of learning, 100 days of fun

The students and I can't believe we have been learning and growing together for 100 days already!  It is crazy how quick the year is flying by! We enjoyed celebrating this special day together! The students were proud to share their family 100th Day projects with their classmates.

We started off the day with special 100th Day morning work.

During Daily 5, children had 100th Day literacy and math activity choices.  Some students practiced counting by tens to 100 and ordering those numbers correctly.  Others chose to go on a word hunt and write 100 words they spotted around the room.  A few kids even wrote numbers 1-100.

During writing, children had to reflect on what they are able to do now that they weren't able to do 100 days ago.

After library, I had a special activity I was excited to try out with the class.   I got this amazing freebie from Brooke Brown's blog Teach Outside the Box.  The kids LOVED the 100th Day STEM bins!  They had to use teamwork like real engineers to creatively construct masterpieces that each contained 100 pieces of that station's material.  

As a Kindergarten team, we had a goal to collect 100 cans for our town's food pantry, which we exceeded, thanks to our amazing Middleton families!

I am looking forward to seeing the children's love for learning continue and their reading, writing, and math skills soar over the next 72 days!
