100th Day of School

Today was our 100th day of school celebration. The actual 100th day of school was on Wednesday, but since we had early dismissal we postponed it until today. The kids were wild and crazy, but they had fun. We did all sorts of neat things. We went on a shopping spree with $100...they looked through ads and picked things out. We made graphs with beans and talked about how many more we needed to make 100, and which type of bean you had the number was a factor of 100, etc. We did PE activities like bouncing the ball 100 times, 100 jumping jacks, jumping rope 100 times, throwing the bean bag 100 times. We did a Geometry Activity with Tangrams....and we made trail mix. I gave each student over 100 pieces, but they had to count out 100, and sort them into groups. They had cereal, pretzels, goldfish, marshmallows, raisins, and whoppers. We have been working on fractions, decimals and percents, so they had to write each item on an index card and tell their fraction, decimal and percent equivalent. They used Graph Club software to create a pie graph of their trail mix...oh, they also had an estimation activity and the results will be out on Monday. It was hectic, but fun!
