100th Day!! {and freebie}

Hello friends! Today was our 100th day! I LOVE 100th day, but this one was more chaotic than usual. We were on a 1 hour delay and it was 2 degrees outside when I got to school this morning. That is like, crazy cold for East Tennessee. Anyway, here are some pictures from our day!

We worked throughout the day on writing 100 words. 

 Students were asked to bring 100 things in to count.

We used counting mats to sort them into groups of 10 and then count by 10. 

 They had fun "checking" to see if they really had brought 100 things!

The counting mats idea came from Erica Boher's blog.

We have morning messages for all occasions, so of course we spent all week on 100th day morning messages. 

 This morning we brainstormed things we have learned in the past 100 days. The first little one that wanted to share what she had learned said she learned how to do good deeds and be kind to others. Talk about feeling like you are making a difference. :)

 Here are some journal entries about what they have learned. 

 We also have pocket chart sentences. These help my kinders build and read sentences.

Here's a little freebie from this packet: 

Just click the picture to get it from Google Docs. 

 And last but not least is my 100th day shirt. Sorry, this is the picture from last year. I kind of forgot to take one this year. My kinders loved it! {But I got some weird looks from the older kids today, lol.} I think there are still 100 wiggle eyes on there, but after crazy today, I'm not so sure.

What do you do to celebrate 100th day?

100th Day Madness and a Penguin Freebie

Whew, well today was 100th day and boy did we celebrate (as well as have a fire drill during our 15 minute rest time with the lights out...all things considered they handled that one well). We had so much fun and spent the entire day working with 100.

Of course there was an opportunity to dress up. :) Students had the option of dressing like they were 100 years old. Take a look at these cuties! They were so adorable!

I opted out of old lady attire and chose to make my pinterest inspired 100th day shirt.

Much to my surprise, the  hot glue prevailed and none of the wiggle eyes came off.
First we made our 100th day crowns, because in kindergarten hats are super cool. You can get it for free from Julie Lee's TPT Store, just click on the picture. {Sorry the picture is sideways, it's just one of those things}.

 

 We wrote 100 words.

Painted 100 dots with Q-tips.

Brought 100 things to count. I love these counting mats! The pin orginally came from a post from Erica Boher.

I got a lot of ideas from pinterest {how did I ever manage without it?!}. Click here to get to my 100th day board.

And of course had awesome snacks at the end of it all. And you can't finish out 100th day without reading "Miss Bindergarten"!

 

Next week we are moving on to penguins! I'm pretty excited and I have a little freebie for you!

 

 

If you are doing a nonfiction unit on penguins, you may be able to use this fact or opinion sort! Just click on the picture to download it from my little store! I would love to hear your feedback on it.
