Celebrating 100 Days

The Grade 1 and 2 classes at Reston School took time on Wednesday, February 13 to celebrate the 100th day of our school year.  (Technically it is only 97 days of being here since we have had 3 closed days when it was too cold to come to school!)
We have been keeping track all year at our Smartboard calendar time and have also thought up and recorded one way to make 100 every day so far.  

We made a paper chain with 100 links. Changing the colour every 5th link helped us keep track, just like tally marks.

Students were invited to bring in a collection or creation consisting of 100 items.  

 Parents and friends came to join us later for a number of fun activities that reinforce the concept of the number 100. Some counted 100 objects, wrote 100 words, did exercises for 100 seconds, and counted up $1.00 with coins.  The Aging Booth I Pad app and the 100 piece snack were popular places!  Thanks to our visitors for joining us in an afternoon of learning and fun!
