100 Amazing Days of Learning!

100 days of school is a big deal in Grade 1!

Our Math curriculum focuses on numbers to 100, so celebrating 100 is an opportunity to tie in several Math activities, and more!

So we began preparing for the 100th day on ... day 96? Yup, it's possible we had 100+ activities planned for our celebration, and we needed a jump start! So here is a peek at day 96, 97, 98, 99, and 100!

We worked over several days to write 100 words! Be proud of that amazing list, kiddos!

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 can look?

And then a box showed up in our room. It was a very, very LOCKED box, and it came with a few clues! What could be inside? Our 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! Ask your child what was inside!

Sprinkled throughout the last few days were a variety of games, including a new favourite, 100s Chart Tic Tac Toe!

Happy 100th Day, girls and boys! I have loved learning with you for the last one hundred days, and I'm excited for more! Be proud of all your learning and hard work!
