100 Days of School - Lesson, links, ideas, printables (22)You are never too old for the 100th day. We have the children estimate how far 100 blocks will line up in our hall. They mark their spot on an adding machine tape which we have rolled out by drawing a line and writing their names. Then we award the tape to the child who came the closest. This goes with our measurement and estimation activities. We also make headbands counting by 5's. Then we attach a pair of goggles that read 100. The two zeros are the holes for the eyes. We have them make patterns on the band and the goggles. We laminate the gogglesso theylike eyeglasses. We have the children write - "What life will be like in 100 years (what will be invented and what will be outdated). We have them draw a picture of what they think they will look like in 100 years. Our math coordinator dresses as Count 100 and reads a story about100 to the children. My favorite isChicken Stew. Hope this helps you convince your principal. Dianne

100 Days of School - Lesson, links, ideas, printables (23)If you want to do something different for the 100th day you can celebrate 101 days of school instead. I teach second grade and we are doing that. Last year we had the kids bring in a white t-shirt and we painted spots on them to make them look like the 101 dalmations. I did not want to do thatthis year, instead I am having them come in dressed like they are 101 years old and then they will write about it. I am also asking the parents/kids to send in a food item such as pretzels, m&m's, etc so that we can count to see how many servings each child will get in our class. Eileen

100 Days of School - Lesson, links, ideas, printables (24)I agree that they are never too old for celebrating. A few years back I had the kids write on hearts 100 reasons why we love our school. I got literally 100's of reasons. We did this for K-6 grade. I had the teachers laminate them and put them in the hall in the shape of a great big heart. I didn't tell the pricipal what I was doing and it even surprised him. It recieved much attention from the press and school board which did alot to lift school spirit in the school right before our standardized testing began. The kids loved it and have asked every year what we are going to do next. Even the pricipal wanted every one of the hearts. My class pasted them in a notebook for him to keep. Janna

100 Days of School - Lesson, links, ideas, printables (25)Our 100th day celebration includes the kids counting out 100 snacks from ten bowls (fruit loops, pretzels, raisins, chocolate chips, etc.) But, what was really fun was our fashion show. We have the kids decorate a plain shirt or hat with 100 things. They write it up on an index card and it is read during their walk down the "runway". I have a slideshow on my site from last year.

100 Days of School - Lesson, links, ideas, printables (26) Regarding 100 th day. One of the activities I do is have a dollar dig!. I have a box filled with pennies and in groups of 2, my students get to reach in and grab what they think is exactly 100 pennies! The partner checks as they count together. Wecomplete a chart of greater than or less than $1.00. Of course, anyone who has the exact amount wins a crispy new dollar bill! In over 30 years of teaching I have probably given out less than $5.00, but my former students all remember it! Hope this helps. I too am on the look out for new ideas for Hundreds Day! Karen

-I really like this idea but I have a few questions.Do they get to grab with both hands? Can they go back for more if they think what they have isn't enough? Thanks for the great new idea. Linda

The dollar dig works like this:. a pair of students, only one at a time gets to reach in and pull pennies. He can use two hands if they like, but only one chance for the dig! The partner supervises and helps to count. When they think they have a $1.00, I get called over to double check and everyone watches as I have the winner double check! It is a lot of fun!

100 Days of School - Lesson, links, ideas, printables (27)We talk about the math term "googol" which is a 1 followed by a hundred zeros. We use an adding machine tape and make our own googol and see how longit is. it really stayed with some of the kids because a third grader asked if we were going to make googols forour hundred day celebration.
