100th Day

We had so much fun on our 100th day of school!  We chose from lots of stations:

Some of the favorite stations were trying to fit 100 drops of water on a penny, seeing if they can get to the middle of a tootsie pop in 100 licks, and making 100 day glasses.
Here is a video of all the fun we had!


On the 100th Day of school we also read the book Wolf's Chicken Stew by Keiko Kasza.

The book is about a wolf who has a plan to fatten up a chicken for his dinner.  He leaves food on her doorstep to fatten her up--100 pancakes, a cake weighing 100 pounds, 100 doughnuts--but eventually he is found out and joins the chicken and her 100 hungry little chicks for dinner.  On the last page the wolf contemplates leaving 100 scrumptious cookies on their doorstep.

That afternoon we heard a knock on our door and look what we found!

We even got a note from Uncle Wolf!

We ended up having  a great afternoon trying to figure out how many cookies there really were and how many cookies each of us would get if there was really 100 cookies.  We figured out that there were ten plates of ten cookies, which really was 100!

 We also figured out that we could have 20 plates of five cookies. We were excited to get so many cookies!

Those cookies were SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Luckily we found out that Uncle Wolf didn't leave us the cookies...Jolene's mom made them! Thank you!

We also figured out that each of us would get 5 cookies, if we split it evenly (and of course Mrs. Henning gets cookies, too!).

Those cookies were SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Luckily we found out that Uncle Wolf didn't leave us the cookies...Danica's mom made them! Thank you!

100 Collections

To prepare for our 100th Day of School we read the book 100th Day Worries by Marjorie Cuyler.

We brought in our own collections of 100 things.  We were surprised that some collections didn't look like 100 because the items were so small!

Riley went above and beyond with his 100 Legos!  "Yay 100 Days"

We also had lots of other 100th Day fun activities.  Check out our video for our 100th Day experience!

100th Day Fun

We started our 100th Day celebration by bringing in collections of 100 items.

Early in the day I gave the children a "100 Contract" filled with fun activities.  Each child set a personal goal of how many activities they thought they could complete by the end of the day.

We had a great afternoon of fun, thinking about 100!

We tried to see if we could fit 100 drops of water on a coin.

We made art projects of our portraits in 100 years.

We did 100 math problems.

We made 100 Day glasses.

We flipped a coin 100 times and tallied the results.

We wrote 100 words.

We did a data collection activity.

We researched what life was like 100 years ago.

We wrote books called Thinking About 100.

We did 100 grid puzzles.

We did 100 jumping jacks.

(Check out the video below to witness how quickly the energy of a 7-year-old can wane by doing 100 jumping jacks!  LOL)

We even observed 100 seconds of ***SILENCE***!!!  I swear it is true.  They were all totally silent for 100 seconds.  The proof is in the video below.


Happy 100th Day!
