We are officially 100 days smarter!
In the morning, we counted to 100 using a 100 board. We then explored several learning centers: we measured the length of our collections, we weighed our collections, we estimated what 100 looks like by choosing between 3 jars of pasta and we made pictures out of our collection.

After recess, we made 100 day necklaces using 100 fruit loops. We used a sorting mat to help us count. Students were encouraged to make groups of 10 with their fruit loops. I overheard lots of French colour words and numbers.
After lunch, we made portraits of how we will look when we are 100 years old. Students were encouraged to think about details such as wrinkles, grey hair, glasses, beards...
In gym, we did 100 actions. Students learned silly dance moves like "stir the pot", "disco", "the swim", "raise the roof"...then we put it all together to music. Our class is really interested in movement and dance.
In the afternoon, we rotated through 3 activities: we painted 100 gumballs using q-tips (10 gumballs in each of 10 different colours), we made 100 hats (by writing numbers 1-10 on 10 different coloured strips), and we made a 100 day trail mix (adding 10 each of 10 ingredients to our goody bag). We worked on the concept that 100 is 10 groups of 10.
A GROS merci to all the mamans who helped run our learning centers and to all the families who supplied a goody for our 100 day trail mix. The students had a blast!
