Monday was our 100th day of school. Our whole elementary celebrated the day doing all kinds of things with 100. We started off the afternoon with 35 minutes of free play. We were going to let them have 100 minutes of free play throughout the afternoon but we ran out of time. Next we went into the library and made crowns with 100 things drawn on them in sets of 10. Here are all of our kids in their crowns!
Next we gave each child a 100 chart and had them write their names over and over until they filled the chart. Then they colored each letter a different color and made a really cool looking pattern. This one is Katherine and I thought hers was the best.
After all of this the kids were getting a little bit crazy so we had some more minutes of free time. Once they had a chance to run around a while we came back in and broke them into 4 groups of 4. Three of the groups worked together to put a 100 piece puzzle together. The other group painted their hands and put their handprints on pieces of construction paper. Together the handprints made a 100 piece quilt.
The last activity of the day was enjoying cupcakes and homemade ice cream. We put the cupcakes in the shape of a 100.
It was a very long but fun day. The kids had a great time!
