The 100th Day of School

We have been counting the days of school.  Each day, the special Helper colours one of the circles in our booklet, and we record the number. (We have noticed many patterns in the numbers as we count and record the numerals, too.)  

The 100th day of school is soon approaching, and we will be celebrating soon!  As part of our celebration, we are encouraging the students to bring their own collections of 100 to school.  Here is a sample of a 100 collection that Mrs. Mateo & Ms. Guerriero shared with the class:

 

As was stated in a letter that was sent home last week, here are some ideas for possible collections:

·         100 cards

·         100 coins/pennies (if you still have any)

·         100 shells

·         100 stickers

·         100 pencils/crayons

·         100 Lego-type blocks

·         100 post-it notes

·         100 letters/words/numbers cut out of magazines/newspapers

·         A list of 100 books that he/she has read

·         Be creative and surprise us with your collection

It would be great if the collections were organized in some way.  For example, if your child has a collection of 100 crayons, have him/her bring the crayons to school counted and separated in sandwich bags:  10 or 20 crayons in each bag.  If your child finds 100 words, have him/her glue the words onto paper in some organized way.

Your child may bring his/her collection to school starting from  Monday, February 10^th.  We will share the collections with the class and then with the rest of the school via a hallway display.
