One Hundredth Day of School Celebration

Hooray for the 100th Day of School! 

On Wednesday February 13th, our school celebrated the ONE HUNDREDTH day of school. Isn't it crazy to think that we have been in school for 100 days?! 

Here are some pictures of our 100th day celebration. 

Enjoy! 

 Making a structure of 100 cups

 Reading our morning message with- you guessed it- 100 words! 

 Just to be sure- we counted ALL 100 words!

               Writing our name in colorful patterns to fill in 100 boxes. 

Our homework was to bring in 100 "somethings." 

(Miss Collins wasn't very creative.) 

 Another structure of 100 cups!!

 Ms. Robbie brought in 100 DELICIOUS cupcakes! 

(in her favorite color, of course)

 We predicted and measured what 100 tablespoons of water looks like. 

 We drew 100 of whatever we wanted!

 Mrs. Manuel-Nee came to help out. 

  Marselle, Fabienne and Camil made a very sturdy structure of 100 cups. 

 Lasell, Nyla and Kaila were successful too!

 The orange group did a great job drawing one hundred of their favorite things. 

 It was tricky to keep the 100 cups from falling over. 

Sometimes learning gets a little messy!
