Boy is this Granny exhausted! We've had a blast celebrating the 100th day of school and I just had to share what my kinders enjoyed. First off...Ohmiword - can I show you this photo!? Adorable! I had a whole slew of elderly that left the nursing home today to share in 100th day festivities (wink, wink)! Loving the baby powder touch (for added gray) and the curlers - such detail.
We started off the morning right...by making 100th day crowns (purchased in Target's $1 section), putting together cereal necklaces with 100 Fruit Loops, AND making 100 tally marks. At this point, Granny was pooped...but we were just getting started. Onward with more excitement.
Next, I divided students up into 2 groups and they glued 100 toppings onto a large pizza and 100 gumballs onto a large gumball machine. I found this idea on Julie Lee's blog and pinned it just for today. My students LOVED this activity and enjoyed seeing what 100 looked like. Here is a photo of us in action. A big thanks to my student teacher for manning the gumball group!
Here are our finished products! So fun :)
This afternoon, we made a 100th day Trail Mix. Hello extra pounds...I ate and ate and ate. Good quality control I guess....I had to sample and make sure all food was safe! ;-) Students used the same place mat from their Fruit Loop necklace and sorted 10 foods with 10 items each. Download your own 100th day placemat and "bag tags" {here}.
We also made ourselves at 100 years old. This idea was inspired by DeAnna Jump the great! Crack me up!
I'm off to remove the wig and orthopedics! I've got some more stuff to share, but I'll save it for tomorrow. Time to retire.......to bed that is. Night folks!
Love!! We just had our 100th day today but I am totally saving your counting mats for next year! Super cute!

ReplyDeleteI work at a retirement home, and I love your pics! The kids look so cute. I love teaching sites, because we can use the ideas and adapt them for the "Grandfriends"!
I showed some of them the picture of you guys all decked out and you can tell the kids that the "Grandfriends" loved it! :) Keep up the great work!
PS- WE have a Grandfriend that is 100, and 2 more that will turn 100 this year! They are in good health, and love doing activities, riding the bus, and playing with their friends! :)
ReplyDeleterats I have looked at three different targets for those crowns and can't find them anywhere!
