From Mrs. Keenom, TK Teacher

For the 100th day of school, students participated in morning centers themed around the 100th day. One center focused on completing 100 different actions, such as 10 jumping jacks and 10 arm circles. Other centers included creating 100th Day tear art, making a 100th Day necklace using Fruit Loops, and answering a writing prompt about what they would buy if they had $100. In the afternoon, students made their own trail mix using 10 different ingredients. They counted out 10 of each item and then mixed them together. To end the celebration, students created their 100th Day crowns as we celebrate being 100 days smarter!

From Mrs. Smith, Kindergarten Teacher

In our classroom, we celebrated this day with streamers and hats. Students made a 100-day snack, painted 100 gumballs, created a sundae with a craft that has 10 scoops of ice cream (counting by 10's) and wrote about what they will be doing when they are 100 years old. (I also take their picture and "age" them). I sent home a special project of putting 100 small items in a Ziploc bag, and we compared the weight of the objects to see which was heavier or lighter.

From Mrs. Hatch, 2nd Grade Teacher

For 100 days of school, third graders celebrated not only the current 100th day, but also all of the hard work they put into the prior grades to get here. At this point, they are successful readers, and we celebrate by reading 100 books and passing 100 AR tests as a class. They are fluent readers now, and we celebrate their success.

From Mrs. Mankins, 3rd Grade Teacher

On the hundredth day of school, we did a hundred-day challenge. Some activities were completed together and some independently. For example, each activity was worth 10 points. If they got 100 points, they received a prize at the end of the day. There was an opportunity to earn more than 100, so it is fun to see who is paying attention. They did not have to do every activity! There were 14 listed, but only ten needed.

Over at Fox Road Elementary, students dressed up as centenarians and wrote about how they imagine life will be and what they will be like when they are 100 years old. Their compositions will be completed with a photo from the start of the year and one from today, showing how they imagine looking nine decades from now.

Also, one fifth-grade teacher taught her students a mini-Latin lesson in which they learned that the Latin root for cent comes from "centum," meaning hundred. Bonum!
