100th Day Shindig

"This is the greatest day of my life!" (actual student words!!)

And that is how our 100th day began, with tremendous excitement and loads of energy!

We have been waaaaaiting for this day since the first day of school, when Mrs. Beliveau promised a mind blowing party!

Each morning we count another school day. We've had lots of practice regrouping, skip counting, and counting on. It has been a long journey, but today was the 100th day of school! Wahooooooo!!!!!

We all know, any awesome party requires planning. It requires careful fashion choices. It requires zazzy decorations. And of course, it requires food! Check out our amazing 100 day celebration!


These hats scream trendy. We used bingo dabbers to put 10 dots on each strip, making 100 dots! Then we visited various classrooms, sharing a poem with 100 words. 

We spent time compiling a list of 100 words we know! Aren't we smart cookies?

We each counted out 100 items. Isn't it funny how different 100 items can look? Some baggies look so empty, while others look so full.

We got crafty and made a portrait of ourselves ... when we are 100!

Using the Oldify app to turn us into wrinkly geezers, we were inspired to write strong (and hilarious) sentences!

"I would pull someone's ear." 

Counting by 5's is tricky, so we traced our hands and made a helpful bulletin board so we can practice.

Teams of students decorated with paper chains, now displayed in our room. One chain shows skip counting by 5's and the other by 10's. 

All this hard work can make a kid hungry! Never fear! We counted out 10 of each snack to make a delicious 100 item trail mix!

Energy renewed, the boys and girls searched high and low for numbers. They coloured in the numbers they found to reveal a secret message!

It was absolutely a day to remember! What learning and excitement will the 101st day bring?
