There are some things about the “regular school” culture I can’t seem to give up. Like yearbooks (homemade via snapfish) and summer vacation (three months straight with no school!! hallelujah!! who cares if they forget all their math!!) and, in this case: Hundreds day. This is a funny one, because I don’t remember doing it as a child; don’t even remember hearing of it ‘til my college friends student taught. Then it was on Meg’s kindergarten class calendar at Perimeter and she was very excited about it. Only she was sick and couldn’t go to school, so I stayed up until midnight the night before googling “100s day activities” and collecting supplies from around the house so we could do our own. Of course the next year Nate remembered it and asked repeatedly when his hundreds day would be. Two years later kindergarten Kate probably would not have remembered it, but Meg and Nate kept asking about it. So on (more or less) the 100th day of school for Kate:
estimating various objects, counting to verify, comparing weight, volume, etc.
paper chain with 100 links (things we’re thankful for)
fun ways to “spell” 100 scavenger hunt/contest
how far will you travel in 100 steps?
It is fun being a teacher, sometimes.
