100th Day Fun in 1st Grade!

My sweeties had a great 100th Day today!  This year, I'm teaching 1st grade, so in addition to my normal 100th Day activities, we tried some new things. This morning during our morning meeting, we brainstormed a little about the number 100...

I love these responses!

In math, we played "Race to 100", which helped reinforce our addition skills.  Using a 100 chart, two dice, and some counters, the worked with their partners to see who could move their counter to 100 first. This was an excellent early finishers activity after they had finished their CGI problem this afternoon.

Race to 100 Game

To play: 
           1)  Each group of partners need a 100 chart, two dice, and two counters of any kind.
           2)  Partner 1 rolls both dice, and adds the total of the two dice together. 
           3)  Partner 1 moves their counter that many spaces on the 100 chart.
           4)  Partner 2 rolls both dice, and adds the total of the two dice together.
           5)  Partner 2 moves their counter that many spaces ont he 100 chart. 
           6)  The partners continue taking turns until someone reaches 100! 


            **To differentiate, you could have students just use one die for an easier version, or use three dice for a harder version. 


Happy 100th Day!!!

100th Day Fun!

This time of the year flies by!  My class had so much fun celebrating Valentine's Day last week, and today was finally the 100th day of school for us!  It's never been this late in the year before, but we've literally had 18 snow days this year!  Anyhow, we had the most fun day ever today! 

Usually we celebrate the 100th day by dressing up like we're 100 years old, but since today was also class picture day at my school, we had to skip it this year--BOO!  Well, in leiu of dressing up, we donned 100th Day Crowns and Fruit Loop Necklaces.  You can find a free download for the crowns from Julie Lee's TpT store by clicking on the link.  I had my kiddos put 100 Fruit Loops on a 100 chart to ensure that they had counted exactly 100! 

Later in the day, we made these cutie-patootie 100 Year-Old Portraits from Deanna Jump's 100th Day Math and Literacy Fun Mini Unit.  These may just be the cutest thing we've ever made! :)

We also got creative and made some 100th day art out of 1's and 0's.  I love the cat and bird duo and monster truck from Mrs. Holland's Kindergarten class!

 We even made 100th Day Snack Mix during our snack time!  Click on the link for a free download of the sorting sheet from my TpT store.

I'd love to see and hear about what you do to celebrate the 100th day in your classroom! :)

100th Day Fun

With the 100th day of school quickly approaching, I have been busy planning a day of fun for my kiddos!  During the past week, I have asked the parents to complete an at-home project, where they will count 100 of the same type of item, place it in a zip top bag and send it to school.  After all of the bags have been brought in, we are going to make a display and compare what 100 of each item looks like.  

We'll also be making 100 Day Crowns, and celebrating the day with a special snack--100th Day Snack Mix! Click on the link for a FREE download of the sorting sheet for this project.

 Happy 100th Day everyone!
