| Thanks to Riley's mom, Amy, for making us our 100 headbands! |
This past week in kindergarten, we celebrated 100 days of learning, fun, and friends. We began the week with the students bringing in their collections of 100 things. We made a list of everything the students brought and hung the collections in the hallway.
we had a writing prompt everyday about the number 100. First, the students wrote about their collections of 100. The next day, we wrote about what we would do with $100. On Wednesday, we discussed what we would like to have 100 of. And for our final writing prompt, we told what we did NOT want 100 of. We made a list as a whole class first, then the students worked independently in their journals.
Our free centers were all about 100, too! In the math games center, the students matched number cards 1-100 onto a number grid. They tried to beat the clock and have all the squares filled in before center time was over. In number work, the kiddos used teamwork and a spinner to get their game piece all the way to 100. Once they reached 100, they worked their game piece backward.
Their mission in the word work center? To write 100 WORDS! All of the students, in both classes, worked on this chart. They put CVC word puzzles together and sight word puzzles together, then recorded them on the chart paper.
And finally, the most buzzed-about center of the week was the block center. But for the 100th day, it became the 'Crazy Fun Cup Center. Students were told to build a 100 cup structure. Now this was FUN!
Our final 100 project was our art project. The students were given the numbers 1-0-0 and told to make something (besides 100) out of it. They could use crayons to complete their picture. They let their imaginations take over and created some really great pieces! They are, of course, on display in our 100-themed hallway!
