What's Been Going on in Room 110?

It has been a while since we last wrote a post on our blog, but a lot has been going on in Room 110:

100th Day of School

As you are probably aware, we celebrated the 100th Day of School on February 10, 2015.  We finally coloured the 100th circle on our ten frames chart, and the celebrations begun!  

Here are some of the activities that we had fun with on the 100th Day of School:
We moved and counted to 100 by ones, fives and tens.  We made 100th Day crowns.  We cut out 100 hearts.  We found and cut out out 100 words that we could read.  We sang songs about 100, and we read books about 100.  We measured how far 100 strips of paper, 100 blocks and 100 links would go down the hallway.  We also measured if we could get dressed for recess in 100 seconds, and most of us did it!  We built with collections of 100 objects like cups, blocks and straws.

Stamping each letter 10 times ... How many stamps will that be?

The students completed a 100 piece puzzle.  Thanks to Brian for bringing it to school for us to complete.

Do 100 scoops of snow fit in the bin?

We counted some of our collections, too.

Many students also brought their collections of 100 to school to share with us.  It was great to see all the different collections, and we imagined all the counting that had gone on at home, too.  

Here are some of the collections:

Thank you for helping us make the 100th Day of School a fun and good learning experience for us all! We hope you are enjoying playing 'Roll for 100' at home.  At school, the teachers played against the students, and the students won!

(Playing dice games together offers many opportunities to reinforce various counting and numeracy skills for your child.)
