Happy 100th Day

We had so much fun on our 100th day of school today.  For our question of the day I asked the kids if anyone knew someone that was 100 years old.  I showed them a picture of what someone looked like that was 100.  Then we had our first challenge, could we come up with 100 words that we can read/write. We have been working on short vowel word families for quite some time.  They were each given a sheet and had to make a real word for each chunk or word family.

 After everyone completed their sheet I had the kids call out words they made for each chunk.  I wrote all the words on the board and they were excited to learn that we came up with 110 words!

Then we switched classrooms for different 100 day themed activities.  In my classroom we seen how many numbers they could write in 100 seconds, how many  letters they could write, and how many times they could write their name in one hundred seconds.  Each classroom competed and then I crowned one winner of each category for all of kindergarten.  After that we partnered up and played the roll to100 game.

In one of the other rooms the kids made glasses in the shape of 100 and painted 100 spots on a dalmation.  Each student had to bring in a 100 of something arranged in a creative way.  We put them all on display and went around to the other classrooms to see their masterpieces.  Here are a few of my favorites.

To round out the day we made hats that read I am 100 days smarter.  We had ten strips hanging off of our hats and made a picture of ten items on each strip.
