Poems were from the following book:
         Franco, Betsy (2004). Counting Our Way to the 100^th Day!  
New York, NY: Scholastic Inc.

 

This slide show is a depiction of projects and a couple of activities that my first grade students did on the 100^th day of school.

Students spent the day with activities surrounding the number 100, including piecing together 100 piece puzzles, making a snack with 100 ingredients, listening to books such as Alexander Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday and writing about what they would do if they had 100 dollars. Math activities included counting 100 objects, then putting them in groups of 5’s, 10’s, and 20’s. We measured length and weight and compared the items to the other students. I couldn't include pictures of students doing the math activities because I did not have permission to put their pictures on the internet. This is something I will work on before doing a project again.
