100 days of school is a big deal in Grade 1!
A big part of our Math curriculum focuses on working with numbers to 100, so celebrating 100 is an opportunity to tie in several Math activities, as well as many Language Arts tasks and even the perfect Religion lesson.
We worked over several days to write 100 words:
We made fabulous runway-worthy party hats! There were 10 strips of paper, and we counted 10 polka dots on each. Boom, 100 dots!
The boys and girls practiced and read a 100 word poem to several classes:
We brought in collections of one hundred items:
Isn't it interesting how different 100 items can look? Some bags are so full, and others have much less.
Hidden down the hall were many numbers. The students were challenged to find and colour them in on a 100's chart to find a secret message:
We challenged ourselves with many numeracy games!
We were SO EXCITED to meet our Grade 3/4 buddies in the library for a celebration with board and card games!
To bring our special day to a close, we settled ourselves and heard the story from the bible about the lost sheep. We looked at 100 cotton balls, thinking of them as 100 little sheep, and wondered "Would God worry if one little sheep went missing? Wouldn't having 99 sheep be enough?" No! If we stray from God, He worries and looks for us. He always welcomes the lost little sheep back.
Happy 100 Day, boys and girls! Be proud of your hard work!
