Another 100th day project!

We started off the project by looking at a picture of a 100 year old woman.  We discussed how the 100 year old woman was different from the kids in the class.  Once we finished our discussion, I laid out construction paper for the kids and let them have fun.  They turned out pretty hilarious in my opinion.  

100th Day in Kindergarten!

Whew! What a fun 100th day we had! We spent the whole day doing different activities related to the 100th day...and when I say the whole day....I mean literally the whole.entire.day! We had a blast!  We made fruit loop necklaces with 100 fruit loops, walked 100 steps in the hallway and recorded where we ended up, wrote about what we would buy with 100 dollars, made a 100 day art project of how we would look when we were 100 years old, went on a "scavenger" hunt and searched for 100 Hershey kisses in the room (when they found them, they put them on a giant 100's chart), made 100 day trail mix, did 10 different exercises 100 times, read MANY stories about the 100th day, played a guessing game to see what 100 items each student brought in (kind of like a show and tell, but only their 100 items where hidden in a brown lunch bag and they had to give us clues to figure out what 100 items they brought), wrote our numbers 1-100, counted to 100 by 1's,2's, 5's, 10's and 50's.....I am sure I am forgetting something....but my brain is tired....all the 100 activities are starting to mush together!  Here are a few photos of our day!

Hip Hip Hooray, the 100th day was great!

I can't believe how excited my kids were for the 100th day.  You would have thought they won the lottery.  We did 100 exercises, wrote about what we would do with $100, made a 100th day trail mix, and made construction paper portraits of what we would look like when we are 100.

For our 100th day trail mix we used popcorn, small Ritz crackers, pretzels, small Teddy Grahams, marshmallows, m&ms, Cheerios, Fruit Loops, mini Oreos, and packs of fruit snacks that had 10 pieces in them.  Each student got to take 10 of each item so they had 100 pieces in their trail mix.  If the students did not like an item I let them pick one of the other items.  

Below are pictures of a fun 100th day project we do.  We ask the parents to send in black yard sale dots.  Each student gets 100 dots.  We talk about what type of picture we can make using the dots.  The students got to pick white or black paper.  This year I used the small construction paper because I wasn't thinking, usually I have them do it on large construction paper.  They have to use all 100 dots to create a picture.
