Well I was going to do a big post about our 100th day of school anyway, but it turns out that was the main part of our week with all the snow days we had! But let me tell you it was a day full of fun and celebration!
We started out the day making our 100th day crowns. Students first got to cut out the main portion of the crown and decorate it how they wanted. Many many gems were used in the process :) Then we filled out the connecting part of the crown with paint dots on our ten frames. It was so great to hear the kids counting by 10s to show me that they did 100 dots!

The next activity we did was writing about what students would buy if they had $100 dollars. You can take a look at their writing on Thursday at student led conferences!
After our writing we had our 100th day snack extravaganza! I set out bowls of various snacks around the room and students went around and counted out 10 of each type of snack. They then put those snacks on their 100 chart to keep track. Once they got to 100 snacks they got to eat! Which I think most would argue was the best part :)

Finally we ended our day making necklaces with 100 beads. I didn't take as many photos of this activity because making 22 necklaces with 100 beads had a few hiccups. Only a few necklaces exploded all over the carpet :) Again the students got to practice their counting, plus once all the colors were on their necklace they could count the groups of colors by 10 to make sure they had 100 beads. It was a lot of fun!

A fun day was had by all. This week will be filled with student preparation for student led conferences. They are so excited to share their learning with you. Remember you can drop by any time between 8:00-12:00pm or 1:00-3:30pm. The conference should take no more than 30 minutes!
