100 Days of Learning!

We have been waaaaaiting for the 100th Day of School since the very first day, 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. 


We made fashion forward hats to celebrate! Each hat had 10 strips of paper. We used bingo dabbers to put 10 dots on each strip, making 100 dots in all! 


A school wide challenge was issued! 100 pictures of Mrs. Comartin and 100 pictures of Mr. Kucy were hidden all over the school. Could we work as a St. Nick's community to find them all? Donning our hats, we hunted high and low for pictures, singing our 100 Days of School song along the way! Ask your child how the hunt went!


We worked together to compile 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.


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!

Mrs. Dubuc showed up in our room with a delivery! She had a box. A very, very LOCKED box. And a few clues. Our Grade 1 Breakout Box challenge was about to begin! The goal? Break into the box!



A Breakout Box is similar to a breakout room, but students use curricular skills to break into a box instead of breaking out of a room. Using teamwork and our knowledge of the 100-chart, we were able to open a number lock, word lock, and directional lock to open the box! 

We heard a parable from the bible about lost sheep. We looked at 100 cotton balls and pretended they were 100 sheep. We wondered, would God worry if one little sheep went missing? Wouldn't having 99 sheep be enough for God? No. If we stray from God, He worries. He searches for us. He always welcomes His lost sheep home. 


What a blessing the first 100 days have been! It was absolutely a day to remember!
